$285,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,958 per student
Machiasport Public Schools booked $285,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 6 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 $47,500 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 6 in 100 Maine districts with a figure (state median $60,073, 173 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 | $233,000 | 81.8% |
| Special education | $44,000 | 15.4% |
| Other programs | $8,000 | 2.8% |
