The Menominee Area Public Schools is a flagship district in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that enjoys excellent community support and a long tradition of educational excellence. In anticipation of the 2022-23 school year, the District is developing a pool of qualified teachers interested in employment with us. We invite teachers with any certification and any level of experience to apply. New graduates who have not yet received their certification are also encouraged to apply.
Working for MAPS has many advantages. Among these are:
➧A very competitive salary schedule. In 2022-2023, the Step 1 salary for teachers ranges from $36,321 to $43,040 depending upon qualifications, plus cash stipends.
➧In 2022-2023, the District will recognize experience for established teachers, meaning that teachers who are new to our district, need not start over on the salary schedule.
➧A generous benefits package, including Health, Vision, Dental, and Life Insurance. The District contributes the maximum allowable for health insurance premiums under Michigan’s “hard cap” law. The District pays 100% of the premium for vision, dental, and a $75,000 life insurance policy. The District also pays a generous “in lieu of” the amount for teachers not in need of full family health insurance coverage.
➧Excellent retirement programs through the Michigan Public School Employee Retirement System, which still includes a pension option and a retiree health insurance option.
➧A collegial atmosphere where Board members, teachers, and administrators mutually support each other and work closely together.
➧A strong and welcoming team mentality among teachers.
➧On-the-job training that includes the Handle With Care, Threat Assessment, CPR, and Curriculum specific PD.
➧State of the art technology resources with the flexibility to meet individual teacher needs and preferences. This includes new teacher laptops, document cameras, interactive projectors, LCD display boards, etc. Each student in every grade is assigned a Chromebook through the District’s 1:1 initiative.
➧Excellent wrap-around support for students. Each campus has its own Behavioral Interventionist or At-Risk Coordinator. Each campus also has its own ISD Social Worker. All elementary students receive regular Social/Emotional learning instruction along with Art, Music, Technology, Health, Outdoor Rec, and Physical Education.
➧A robust Title I program. Coordinators and Assistants provide small group and individualized support to students in need of remediation.
Our campuses include:
