$60,748,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $4,132 per student

Chippewa Valley Schools booked $60,748,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 734 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 $82,815 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 98 in 100 Michigan districts with a figure (state median $62,387, 536 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 Michigan teacher salary at $65,198 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
