Here's what the underpaid teachers are protesting about:

Teacher salaries in the Port Washington-Saukville School District currently range from $36,083 to $82,468 based on seniority and degrees earned, according to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The average salary is $64,065, the second highest in Ozaukee County after the Mequon-Thiensville School District, where teachers have taught in the district for an average of 15.4 years. The average local teacher experience in the Port Washington-Saukville School District is 14.2 years. The average value of fringe benefits for teachers in the Port Washington-Saukville School District is $28,191, according to the DPI. Teachers do not contribute to their pensions, which will cost the district about $1.6 million this year, Director of Business Services Jim Froemming said.

$92,000 for the average teacher in this district

“$92,000 for the average teacher in this district”

The compensation level is only for 9 months. It is well over 6 figures pro rated for 12 months.

Recently, I had a very tense discussion with a family member (WI teacher) who is very upset that she “may loose $600.00/month.” I asked if that was just for health-care, and she replied that is would be health-care and pension contribution combined. I asked what she paid now, and she told me that she currently pays nothing for health-care.

Folks working in the private sector consider themselves lucky to have insurance offered, and to get by for less than $1000.00/month for a family. And pensions don’t exist in the private sector…

I’m supposed to feel sorry for her. I had to remove myself from the room.

Hold tight Walker!
