$1,180,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $6,556 per student
Nezperce Joint District booked $1,180,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 17 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 $68,012 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 62 in 100 Idaho districts with a figure (state median $65,359, 168 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.

| Special education | $57,000 | 4.8% |
