$255,792,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,451 per student
Brevard Public Schools booked $255,792,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 4,387 full-time teachers in its Common Core of Data district staff file for 2022-23 (the school files behind the staffing figures on this page count teachers separately, so the two can differ), or $58,310 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 51 in 100 Florida districts with a figure (state median $58,157, 66 districts). It is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, so the result can differ widely from the average salary the district publishes (its salary schedule gives pay); benefits are left out, and states book salaries differently, so compare districts within one state. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Florida teacher salary at $51,230 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
