This school district is located in Outagamie County. The majority of residents in this county are  Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker supporting his efforts to screw teachers out of 50 years of improvements to salaries and benefits.

Even though Scott Walker is no longer Wisconsin's governor, residents of this county are solid MAGA Trump supporters with minimal support or appreciation for the contributions of strong public schools to the overall success of communities and businesses in their county. 

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $53,778 to $63,102.

The Kaukauna school district average teacher salary was  highest in Outagamie County at $63,102. 

The increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was -2.8%, which means that the average Kaukauna teacher actually saw a decline in their salary from 2011 to 2023, one of a very few school districts in Wisconsin where this occurred.

This district increased Superintendent pay by 33.9% during the same period, which works out to a pay increase for the Superintendent that was over 30 TIMES larger than the pay increase for the average Kaukauna teachers. 

Though the Kaukauna school district has the highest average teacher salaries, this district has a reputation for cutting teacher salaries and benefits since 2011. It has been our experience that when districts actually cut the average teacher salaries while lavishing huge pay increases on the Superintendent,  that the career potential for teachers in these districts is essentially a DEAD END job.

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.
