$3,283,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $5,211 per student
Boyden-Hull Community School District booked $3,283,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 48 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 $68,140 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 77 in 100 Iowa districts with a figure (state median $63,361, 318 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 Iowa teacher salary at $59,262 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

| Regular programs | $2,448,000 | 74.6% |
| Special education | $286,000 | 8.7% |
| Vocational | $89,000 | 2.7% |
