This school district is located in Oconto 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 Oconto 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 $47,202 to $58,393. The Oconto Falls school district average teacher salary was mid-range in Oconto County at $54,648. The increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was 14.3%, which was well below the rate of inflation.
During the same time period, the Oconto Falls school board raised the pay of the Superintendent by 20.8%, which was also below inflation.
For all of the reasons above, we rate the career potential for teachers in this district to be a DEAD END job.
