This school district is located in Price County, which is a strong Trump supporting Wisconsin county. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from the mostly MAGA county residents.

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 cuts due to pay increases falling far below the inflation rate. This is why we rate career employment potential for every Price County school district as a DEAD END job.

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $49,728 to $54,299. The Phillips school district average teacher salary was the highest at $54,299. Like every other Price County school district, the increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was below the rate of inflation; for this district it was 15.2%. 

During the same time period, this district increased Superintendent pay about equal to the increase in average teacher pay at 13.7%. Though we think that it's a good thing when a district increases the teacher pay and Superintendent pay by about the same amounts, we suspect that this district is experiencing some financial troubles due to the severe cuts to public school aid by the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin. 

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

Estimated Average Teacher Income Loss Since 2011 From Act 10
$138,638

The Republican Dictatorship that has Ruled Wisconsin Since 2011 has underfunded public schools by over 4 Billion dollars in order to provide massive tax cuts to the wealthiest individual taxpayers and big business and manufacturers by severely reducing teacher salaries & benefits.
