Caveats
- Value is full-time-equivalent (FTE) average base salary plus extra and duty pay for staff whose job assignment is classified as Teacher, not base salary alone.
- Idaho's own time series starts in school year 2016-17; no standalone certificated salary report exists before that year.
- Period 2024 (school year 2024-25) is read from a PDF report with whole-dollar figures, unlike other years' cents-precision Excel figures.
- The interstate comparison is for school year 2021-22, the newest year NCES has published, not the same year as Idaho's own newest (2025) figure.
