Teacher salary spending per teacher, by North Dakota school district
Minot 1 spent $99,669 on teacher salaries per full-time teacher in fiscal year 2022-23, the most of any North Dakota district with 500 or more students; the median North Dakota district spent $65,626 (125 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 North Dakota only because states book salaries and count teachers differently.
