Teacher salary spending per teacher, by Massachusetts school district

Boston spent $121,260 on teacher salaries per full-time teacher in fiscal year 2022-23, the most of any Massachusetts district with 500 or more students; the median Massachusetts district spent $83,840 (276 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 Massachusetts only because states book salaries and count teachers differently.
