This school district is located in Dane County, which historically has voted around 80% for Democrats and is the fastest growing county in Wisconsin. Buoyed by the city of Madison and the University of Wisconsin, Dane County is one of the most desirable counties in Wisconsin to live in.

Teachers in Dane County school districts earn some of the highest salaries in Wisconsin. The average teacher salaries for Dane County school districts range from $52, 546 to $65, 472 as of the 2022-23 school year. Like every Wisconsin county, some school districts are really great places to work while the school boards in other districts have used Act 10 to make their districts really lousy places to teach.

Teachers in the Stoughton school district enjoy one of the higher average salaries in Dane County. Unfortunately, the Stoughton school board has not prioritized teacher salary increases at or equal to the inflation rate, allowing the average teacher salary to increase at 14.3%, well under the inflation rate. The Stoughton school board did prioritize keeping the Superintendent happy by awarding a 38.5% pay increase, nearly THREE TIMES the increase in average teacher salaries.

With the increase in average teacher salaries well below the rate of inflation coupled with the huge salary increases lavished on the Superintendent, we rated career employment potential for teachers in this district to be a Dead End job.

Planning on Returning to Teach in this District Next Year?

Have All Teachers Received CPI Pay Increases the Past 2 Years?  

2023 CPI was 8.00%  

2024 CPI was 4.12%

No???

Sick of the School Board Lavishing Big Raises on the Superintendent While Screwing Teachers?

Time to Send a Message to the School Board.....

Without a Guarantee of a BIG RAISE for signing your contract for the 2024-25 SY,

Make your School District WAIT until the week of June 12th to return your contract.

All contracts due by Saturday June 15th.

This is one of over 200 Wisconsin school districts  have SCREWED teachers (50,000+) since 2011 while giving MASSIVE pay raises to the Superintendent.  

Make your District value YOUR RETURN for next year as much as they value the Superintendent. 

Unless they offer at least a CPI raise for all teachers,

Hold off on returning your signed contract until June 12-14th.
