$5,900,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $4,260 per student
Yosemite Unified booked $5,900,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 68 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 $86,931 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 28 in 100 California districts with a figure (state median $99,744, 1,149 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.

| Regular programs | $4,938,000 | 83.7% |
| Special education | $696,000 | 11.8% |
