$12,549,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $5,892 per student
Northern Lebanon SD booked $12,549,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 152 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 $82,521 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 54 in 100 Pennsylvania districts with a figure (state median $81,309, 647 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 Pennsylvania teacher salary at $72,248 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

| Regular programs | $9,899,000 | 78.9% |
| Special education | $2,033,000 | 16.2% |
