This school district is located in Sheboygan County. By a strong majority, the residents of this county are Trump supporters and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker as he denigrated teachers and worked to destroy quality public education. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from many county residents who are strong MAGA supporters.
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 Sheboygan County. Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in nearly every school district in this county have suffered significant salary and benefit cuts imposed by MAGA-controlled school boards. 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.
Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $52,236 to $64,023. The Kohler school district average teacher salary was one of the higher ones in Sheboygan County at $61,070.
Unfortunately, the average teacher salary in Kohler actually decreased since 2011 by about 0.6% giving teachers an effective pay CUT of over 25% since 2011!
During the same time period, Superintendent pay rose by only 2.7%, which tells us that this district is likely experiencing some pretty severe financial problems; likely due to some combination of declining enrollment, aging facilities that are expensive to maintain, or just not enough funding caused by the over 4 billion dollar reduction in state aid to public schools since 2011.
In districts where both the teachers and the Superintendent are "taking one for the team", we rate the career employment potential as a Dead End job.
