This school district is located in Sawyer 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 Sawyer County school district average teacher salary ranges from $52,367 to  $57,627. 

The Winter school district had the lowest average teacher salary in this county at $52,367. The increase in average teacher salary for this school district was only 6.1% which was far below the inflation rate.  

During the same time period, the Superintendent salary increase was 30.1%, which was about FIVE TIMES the increase to average teacher salaries and a little above the rate of inflation.

With the lowest average teacher salary in the county and the absolutely MINIMAL well-below inflation increases to that salary, plus the 30% Superintendent pay increase, we rate the career employment potential as a DEAD END job.

Planning on Returning to Teach in this District Next Year?

Have All Teachers Received CPI Pay Increases the Past 2 Years?  

2023 CPI was 8.00%  

2024 CPI was 4.12%

No???

Sick of the School Board Lavishing Big Raises on the Superintendent While Screwing Teachers?

Time to Send a Message to the School Board.....

Without a Guarantee of a BIG RAISE for signing your contract for the 2024-25 SY,

Make your School District WAIT until the week of June 12th to return your contract.

All contracts due by Saturday June 15th.

This is one of over 200 Wisconsin school districts  have SCREWED teachers (50,000+) since 2011 while giving MASSIVE pay raises to the Superintendent.  

Make your District value YOUR RETURN for next year as much as they value the Superintendent. 

Unless they offer at least a CPI raise for all teachers,

Hold off on returning your signed contract until June 12-14th.
