$6,138,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $5,647 per student
Allegany-Limestone Central School District booked $6,138,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 94 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 $65,159 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 18 in 100 New York districts with a figure (state median $80,291, 622 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 New York teacher salary at $92,222 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
| Program | Teacher salaries | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Regular programs | $5,054,000 | 82.3% |
| Special education | $875,000 | 14.3% |
| Other programs | $209,000 | 3.4% |
