This district is located near the Minnesota border. The Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin continues to defund public schools while Minnesota just sent a 2 BILLION dollar funding increase to keep it's public schools #1 in America. Wisconsin is declining while Minnesota is the economic engine of the Midwest.

Onalaska has one of the highest average teacher salaries in La Crosse County at $63,740. Since July 2011, the average teacher salary in this school district has  increased by 25.9% which is a little bit below the rate of inflation.

The Onalaska school board increased the Superintendent pay by 38.2% during the same time period. 

Not an outrageous amount, but we think that the Onalaska school board could have done better on teacher raises if it can afford a 38% raise in pay for the Superintendent.

Still, in the grand scheme of things, we think that the Onalaska school district Might Be a Good Place to Work.
