Teacher salary spending per teacher, by Nebraska school district

Umo N Ho N Nation Public Schs spent $90,446 on teacher salaries per full-time teacher in fiscal year 2022-23, the most of any Nebraska district with 500 or more students; the median across all 215 Nebraska districts with a figure, the smaller ones included, is $61,845. 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. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Nebraska teacher salary at $57,420 in 2021-22 (U.S. $66,397; NCES Digest table 211.60). It is compared within Nebraska only because states book salaries and count teachers differently.
