Coccus[edit] A coccus (plural cocci, from the Latin coccinus (scarlet) and derived from the Greek kokkos (berry)) is any microorganism (usually bacteria) whose overall shape is spherical or nearly spherical. Describing a bacterium as a coccus, or sphere, distinguishes it from bacillus, or rod.
Over the past 10 years, Wisconsin taxpayers have paid about $139 million to private schools that were subsequently barred from the stateâs voucher system for failing to meet requirements related to finances, accredita tion, student safety and auditing, a State Journal review has found.
A similar study by the U.S. Department of Education in 2012-13 put Wisconsin teachers at 20th, a little more than $1,000 below the national average. The average teacher salary was $53,583 statewide in the 2013-14 school year, and benefits averaged $22,487, based on a DPI analysis of full-time teachers. Other state calculations varied slightly, with the NEA estimating the average at close to $55,000.
