This school district is located in Trempealeau County, where the majority of residents are huge Trump supporters. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from the mostly MAGA county residents. 

The Trempealeau County school district average teacher salary ranges from $49,515 to $59,257. 

The Whitehall school district was one of the higher districts for average teacher salaries in this county at $58,447. The increase in average teacher salary for this school district was 27.7% since 2011, which was just above the rate of inflation. 

Superintendent pay also rose by a little below the inflation rate at 22.3%.

 

With this county being located adjacent to the Minnesota border, we urge teachers considering teaching here to explore teaching vacancies just across the border in Minnesota. Successful candidates could earn starting salaries of $10-15,000 more than what teachers are now earning in Wisconsin, with far higher career salary potential.

We think that this district offers teachers a lot of positives towards building a career. We rate this district as Likely a Good Place to Teach.
