What do Governor Doyle and Superintendent David Schmidt have in common?  They both want to get rid of the QEOHere is a friendly reminder of salary and benefit increases before the QEO and after.  Obviously, after implimentation in 1993/94, the QEO slowed down the rate of increase in salaries and benfits substantially.  Now, WEAC owned Governor Doyle wants to get rid of the QEO.   Why would David Schmidt support this if the impact will only stress the budget more?

"We're in a financial crisis and I, quite frankly, am sick and tired of gutting programs, so I'm going to look everywhere I can for every nickel I can to run the district more efficiently."-Frank Finman, Waukesha School Board who wanted to freeze salaries.

Once again, hats off to Frank Finman for voting against the salary increase for non-union employees for all the right reasons.  A wet noodle to all the seated school board members who say they are conservative and don't vote that way.

2007 Teacher Salary Study PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 12 April 2007

The newest edition of "the Myth of the 3.8% QEO" is now released. Once again, the study shows that the average salary increase per teacher exceeds 5%.  This does not represent increases in health insurance, retirement contributions or any other benefit. Included in this study are private and public sector insurance comparisons and a breakdown of the $195 Million unfunded liability that the district has and just what the board can do about it.

Highlights from the Report:

  • The average total compensation package for teachers was $82,720.
  • Over 37% of teachers are maxed out at an annual base salary of $70,507 (not including benefits).
  • A family plan health insurance package costs the taxpayers $21,147.36.
  • The average increase between the 2005/06 and 2006/07 school years was 5.14%.
  • $195 million in unfunded liabilities.
