This school district is located in St. Croix County, where the County Republican Party acted extremely aggressively in support of the January 6th 2021 Insurrectionists.
With the extreme pro-Trump views of the predominantly MAGA population in this county, social studies teachers have had to be very careful when teaching about the January 6th Patriots that visited the Capitol building in Washington DC, just doing "normal tourist type tours of the Capitol.
The St. Croix County school district average teacher salary ranges from $53,795 to $64,551.
The New Richmond school district had mid-range average teacher salaries in this County at $61,651. The increase in average teacher salary for this school district was 14.9% since 2011, which was below the rate of inflation.
With this county being located adjacent to the Minnesota border, we urge teachers considering teaching here to explore teaching vacancies just across the border in Minnesota. Successful candidates could earn starting salaries of $10-15,000 more than what teachers are now earning in Wisconsin, with far higher career salary potential.
Rating the career potential for teachers in this district is a difficult call. With a mid-range teacher salary that is still over $60,000 in the county that is increasing below the rate of inflation, we're going to rate this district as a place that Might Be a Good Place to Work.
