This district is located about 50 miles from the Minnesota border. The Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin continues to defund public schools while Minnesota just sent a 2 BILLION dollar funding increase to keep it's public schools #1 in America. Wisconsin is declining while Minnesota is the economic engine of the Midwest.

We strongly urge prospective teaching candidates to leave school districts like this for the much higher pay and benefits offered in Minnesota districts.

Average teacher salaries for in Douglas County range from $44,531 to $63,878. In statewide elections, this county votes to support Democratic candidates, but with electoral maps imposed by the gerrymandered Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin, all of it's state legislators are Republicans. 

The average teacher salary for the Maple school district is in the middle of the Douglas County salary range, coming in at $53,429. Since July 2011, the average teacher salary in this school district has only increased by 12.1% which is less than half the rate of inflation. 

Though the school board does not seem to prioritize teacher pay, it sure seems to make keeping the Superintendent happy. Since 2011, the Maple Superintendent salary went up by THREE TIMES the average teacher salary or 36.4%.

For these reasons, we rate the career salary potential for this district as a Dead End job.

Planning on Returning to Teach in this District Next Year?

Have All Teachers Received CPI Pay Increases the Past 2 Years?  

2023 CPI was 8.00%

No???

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.
