$394,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,456 per student
Chinook H S booked $394,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 10 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 $40,787 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 8 in 100 Montana districts with a figure (state median $53,321, 282 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.
| Program | Teacher salaries | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Regular programs | $224,000 | 56.9% |
| Special education | $35,000 | 8.9% |
| Vocational | $135,000 | 34.3% |
