$5,162,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $4,123 per student
Geneva City booked $5,162,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 82 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 $63,337 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 12 in 100 Alabama districts with a figure (state median $66,861, 140 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 Alabama teacher salary at $55,834 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

| Regular programs | $4,456,000 | 86.3% |
| Special education | $397,000 | 7.7% |
| Vocational | $249,000 | 4.8% |
