$3,000,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $4,525 per student
Pershing County School District booked $3,000,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 46 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 $65,217 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 33 in 100 Nevada districts with a figure (state median $68,256, 13 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 Nevada teacher salary at $57,804 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
| Program | Teacher salaries | Share |

| Regular programs | $2,354,000 | 78.5% |
| Special education | $527,000 | 17.6% |
| Vocational | $87,000 | 2.9% |
