Walker: Wisconsin teachers should be paid like NFL free agents
COON VALLEY — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker likened compensation in the teaching profession to free agency in the National Football League during a visit Monday to Coon Valley.
Walker held an invitation-only listening session at Coon Valley and afterward gave a couple of interviews focused on education, rural roads and the use of state recreational land along the Mississippi River.
When asked whether he would encourage a relative with a teaching degree to seek employment in Wisconsin or Minnesota, Walker said Wisconsin.
“They don’t have to wait 20 years to be able to succeed,” Walker said. “If they’re a great teacher and they’ve got great incentive to perform they can get a high-quality teaching job anywhere in the state of Wisconsin and they can get rewarded for that and not have to wait to build years of seniority.”
