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.

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $51,362 to $53,680. The Markesan school district average teacher salary was mid range at $52,473. 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 8.8%.The school board was able to find enough money to keep the Superintendent salary up with inflation by awarding a 25.2% pay increase during the same time period.

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.
