This school district is located in Marathon County. By a strong majority, the residents of this county are strong Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker. 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 Marathon County. 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 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 $51,944 to $64,941. The Mosinee school district average teacher salary was mid-range in Marathon County at $56,957.  More significantly, the increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was -0.2%, which means that the average Mosinee teacher salary actually DECLINED between 2011 and 2023, making Mosinee one of the worst paying districts in Wisconsin.

The Mosinee school board did prioritize making sure that the Superintendent was taken care of with an 18.5% pay increase during the same time.

Behind the abysmal salary numbers, is the record of how this School Board has treated it's teachers since 2011. For any teacher considering employment in this school district, Google is your friend. We think that this is an extremely ugly district to teach in, with students, parents, and the School Board showing open and repeated animosity towards teachers. There is a reason why the Mosinee school district is a frequent flier on WECAN hunting for replacement teachers on nearly a year around basis. You Have Been Warned!!!!

For all of the reasons above, we rate the career potential for teachers in this school district as a Dead End job.

Estimated Average Teacher Income Loss Since 2011 From Act 10
$244,702

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.

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%  

2024 CPI was 4.12%

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.
