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 Republican voting school districts like this one for the much higher pay and benefits offered in Minnesota districts. 

The average teacher salaries in the Wauzeka-Steuben school district have increased at about two thirds the inflation rate since 2011 with a 18.3% increase to just over $50,000. We  feel that this district may be having some financial difficulties as a result of the defunding of public schools by the Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin due to declining enrollment or required investment in aging, costly facilities because this district is one of a very few Wisconsin districts where a lower percentage raise (13.8%) was given to the Superintendent than the teachers. 

These are the reasons (and questions) that cause us to rate employment as a teacher in this school district as a Dead End job.

$114,674

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.
