Teacher salary spending per teacher, by Maryland school district
Calvert County Public Schools spent $96,902 on teacher salaries per full-time teacher in fiscal year 2022-23, the most of any Maryland district with 500 or more students; the median Maryland district spent $84,230 (23 districts). It is not the salary a teacher is paid: it is the teacher salaries a district reported spending, divided by the full-time teachers counted in a different federal file, without benefits, so it can differ widely from the average salary a district publishes; a district's salary schedule gives pay. It is compared within Maryland only because states book salaries and count teachers differently.
