This school district is located in Jefferson 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.

Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in nearly every school district in this county have suffered significant salary and benefit cuts imposed by MAGA-controlled school boards. 

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $49,289 to $67,020. The Palmyra-Eagle school district average teacher salary was the lowest in the entire county at $49,289.  The increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was only 6.9% which was well below the inflation rate.

More worrisome for potential employees is the TOTAL LACK of SUPPORT for this school district by the communities of Palmyra & Eagle. The buildings in this district are literally falling apart, but residents refuse to support numerous building referendums to fix the buildings. Loud opposition screams "Make the Teachers Pay For It" at school board meetings. Teachers and administrators are fleeing this district as soon as they can find another job. The residents of this district even tried to push the district into insolvency and turn it over to the State to run. 

The Palmyra Eagle school board cut the Superintendent salary by 36% since 2011. This is a school district located in an upper class suburban area, with the majority of it's residents VERY Anti-public education and EXTREMELY Anti-Teacher. We urge extreme caution for any teacher considering working for this school district.

We rate the career employment potential for this district as a DEAD END job.
