The Waterford UHS school district is located in rural Racine County in an area filled with right wing Republicans who were Standing With Walker from 2010-2018 to denigrate teachers and use the "tools" of Act 10 to erase 50 years of improvements to teacher salaries, benefits, and working conditions.
Today, this area is filled MAGA Republicans, with more Trump or FJB flags flying than American flags.
The minimal teacher salary increases since July 2011 are consistent with a total lack of community support for quality education in this right wing district. More evidence of minimal community support for the Waterford public schools is the failure of 3 consecutive referendums to pay for needed upgrades and repairs to Waterford High School.
Teachers in this district are likely facing imminent layoffs and/or massive salary & benefit cuts to pay for needed improvements to keep the high school open.
