$54,703,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $2,985 per student
Tyler ISD booked $54,703,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 1,218 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 $44,894 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 20 in 100 Texas districts with a figure (state median $50,660, 1,054 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 Texas teacher salary at $58,887 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

| Regular programs | $34,096,000 | 62.3% |
| Special education | $6,668,000 | 12.2% |
| Vocational | $2,411,000 | 4.4% |
