$242,514,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,305 per student

Austin ISD booked $242,514,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 4,434 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 $54,699 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 72 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).

  5. How much does Austin ISD spend on teacher salaries?
    $242,514,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $3,305 per student. Divided by the 4,434 full-time teachers in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2022-23 that is $54,699 per teacher, more than 72 in 100 Texas districts (state median $50,660). That is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, and the result can differ widely from the average salary a district publishes. The district's salary schedule gives pay. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Texas teacher salary at $58,887 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
