This district is located about 50 miles from 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.

We strongly urge prospective teaching candidates to leave school districts like this for the much higher pay and benefits offered in Minnesota districts.

Average teacher salaries for in Douglas County range from $44,531 to $63,878. In statewide elections, this county votes to support Democratic candidates, but with electoral maps imposed by the gerrymandered Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin, all of it's state legislators are Republicans. 

The average teacher salary for the Solon Springs school district is the lowest in Douglas County, coming in at $44,531. Since July 2011, the average teacher salary in this school district has only increased by 3%. 

We suspect that this district may have financial problems, possibly due to declining enrollment. The average teacher salary here is one of the lowest in Wisconsin-most teachers working here are eligible for both state and federal anti-poverty programs. Superintendent pay has fallen by 40.5% since 2011.

For these reasons, we rate the career salary potential for this district as a Dead End job.
