 We think that this district might be a good place to work. 

The average teacher salary in this district was just over $42,000 in 2010-11.  Fourteen years later, this district has increased teacher salaries by 27% which was close to the inflation rate to bring the average teacher salary to nearly $53,644. 

We are chagrined to see that the increase in average teacher salary from 2022-23 to 2023-24 was only $243 at a time when inflation was over 8%! 

 

In the past year or two there is likely some combination of minimal teacher salary increases and/or teacher exodus going on in this district. That's why we rate this district as "might be a good place to teach".

We strongly urge prospective candidates to do a lot of research before agreeing to teach in this district.

This district is located about 25 miles from the Minnesota border. While the Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin continues to defund public schools,  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.

This school district is located in an Ultra-MAGA Trump voting county where residents support everything that President Trump does. Dissent is not tolerated in these Ultra MAGA Wisconsin counties. 

Even though this district might be a good place to teach in Burnett County, we suggest teachers who are not 100% supporters of President Trump flee Republican voting school districts like this one for the much higher pay and benefits offered in Minnesota districts.

$81,545

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.
