This school district is located in Washington County, which is literally "Ground Zero" for the largest concentration of MAGA Republican voters in Wisconsin. Well over 80% of residents in this county spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker  to denigrate teachers and defund quality public education.

Today, it seems that nearly every yard in the county that has a sign proclaiming support for Trump and/or contempt for President Biden and those who support him. FJB signs are more prevalent than the American flag in most areas of Washington County.  Woe to anyone, especially a public school teacher, that doesn't openly support Trump or who dares to openly support Biden or any Democratic candidate. 

Despite being one of the most prosperous counties in Wisconsin, with an extremely high cost of living, average teacher pay in this county ranges from $54,353 to $69,650. The median home price in this county is over $500,000 with soaring apartment rental costs as well. 

With most school districts' pay increases well below the inflation rate, few Washington County teachers are able to afford to live anywhere close to where they teach. Not really a big problem though, because in Washington County, school teachers are considered "losers" (and worse) by the Republican voting residents. 

The Hartford Joint #1 school district average teacher salary was mid-range in Washington County at $59,796.  The increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was 13.2%, which was far below the rate of inflation.

During the same time period, the Superintendent pay increased by 48.1%, over TRIPLE the average teacher pay increase.

For all of the reasons above, we rate the career potential for teachers in this district to be a DEAD END job.

Estimated Average Teacher Income Loss Since 2011 From Act 10
$163,428

The Republican Dictatorship that has Ruled Wisconsin Since 2011 has underfunded public schools by over 4 Billion dollars in order to provide massive tax cuts to the wealthiest individual taxpayers and big business and manufacturers by severely reducing teacher salaries & benefits.

Sick of the School Board Lavishing Big Raises on the Superintendent While Screwing Teachers?

Time to Send a Message to the School Board.....

Without a Guarantee of a BIG RAISE for signing your contract for the 2024-25 SY,

Make your School District WAIT until the week of June 12th to return your contract.

All contracts due by Saturday June 15th.

This is one of over 200 Wisconsin school districts  have SCREWED teachers (50,000+) since 2011 while giving MASSIVE pay raises to the Superintendent.  

Make your District value YOUR RETURN for next year as much as they value the Superintendent. 

Unless they offer at least a CPI raise for all teachers,

Hold off on returning your signed contract until June 12-14th.
