The Oak Creek Franklin school district is located in the southern part of Milwaukee County. Since 2011, the average teacher salary has increased just over 10%. Since 2011, the Oak Creek Franklin school district substantially reduced the value of collectively bargained retirement benefits for teachers, and eliminated the fair and objective career salary system for a merit based subjective salary system based on subjective administrator chosen criteria. At one point, only 1 male teacher at Oak Creek High School was rated by administrators as a "Superior" teacher, while 22 female teachers received a "Superior" ranking and the largest salary increase possible. Male teachers composed 45% of the teachers at Oak Creek High School, but were disproportionately rated lower than female teachers, and received significantly lower pay increases. That subjective merit pay system is still in place today, albeit with some modifications. 

In a 2021 WECAN posting, the Oak Creek Franklin school district promises candidates a starting salary of $47,000 with a $57,000 salary when you reach your 4th year of employment. What the district does not tell candidates is that most teachers' salaries will essentially "flat-line" at that $57,000 range and will not keep up with inflation for the remainder of their careers.  We hope that this district will someday implement a fair and objective salary system where teachers know what they will earn in future years.
