This district is located adjacent to 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. There is minimal public support for teachers in the Superior school district as numerous Operational Referendums have been voted down, leading to scores of teacher layoffs & terminations. 

Residents attending school board meetings have been witnessed cheering and laughing at teachers who had just been notified that their jobs were eliminated for the next school year. Is this a place that YOU would like to live and work amongst the human trash who think this is appropriate behavior?

 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 Superior school district is $65,464. Since July 2011, the average teacher salary in this school district has increased by 19.6% which is less than  the rate of inflation. 

Though the school board does not seem to prioritize teacher pay, it sure seems to make keeping the Superintendent happy. Since 2011, the Superior Superintendent salary went up by 53.9%. 

Our experience has been that districts that screw teachers over with minimal pay raises but then lavish HUGE pay increases on the Superintendent are absolutely HORRIBLE places to live and work. 

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

$151,966

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.
