This school district is located in Jefferson County. By a strong majority, the residents of this county are strong Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from many county residents who are strong MAGA supporters.

Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in nearly every school district in this county have suffered significant salary and benefit cuts imposed by MAGA-controlled school boards. 

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $49,289 to $67,020. The Watertown school district average teacher salary was the highest in the county at $67,020.  The increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was only 16.3% which was below the inflation rate.

The Watertown school board prioritized directing scarce resources towards teacher raises versus lavishing it on a greedy Superintendent as was the case in several districts in this county. The salary increase for the Watertown Superintendent was only 6.7%.
