$1,619,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $7,859 per student
Bloomfield-Mespo Local School District booked $1,619,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 24 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 $68,197 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 18 in 100 Ohio districts with a figure (state median $78,983, 642 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 Ohio teacher salary at $63,153 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
| Program | Teacher salaries | Share |

| Regular programs | $1,222,000 | 75.5% |
| Special education | $340,000 | 21.0% |
| Vocational | $57,000 | 3.5% |
