This school district is located in Green Lake County, which in one of the most rabid Trump supporting Wisconsin counties. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from the mostly MAGA county residents.

Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in every school district in this county have suffered significant salary cuts due to pay increases falling far below the inflation rate. This is why we rate career employment potential for every Green Lake County school district as a DEAD END job.

The Markesan school district average teacher salary was $54,875. 

Like every other Green Lake County school district, the increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was below the rate of inflation; for this district it was 13.7%.

The school board was able to find enough money to keep the Superintendent salary up with inflation by awarding a 30.2% pay increase during the same time period. 

Our experience has been that districts that screw teachers over with minimal pay raises but then lavish HUGE pay increases on the Superintendent are absolutely HORRIBLE places to live and work. 

We suspect that this district is also facing financial pressures, likely caused by declining enrollment and the severe state aid cuts to public schools by the Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin.

We rate career employment potential in this district as a DEAD END job.

Estimated Average Teacher Income Loss Since 2011 From Act 10
$169,643

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.
