A newly released analysis shows how Mahoning County’s 14 public school districts are spending tax dollars.

The report released Thursday by the Mahoning County Auditor’s Office contains information on how much money teachers are making, how much superintendents are being paid, how many property tax dollars are available per pupil, and the total expenditure per pupil in each district.

According to the report, the average classroom teacher’s salary in 2021 ranged from $51,596 in the Youngstown City School District, to $71,509 in Canfield.

Superintendent’s Salaries in that same year varied from $92,409 in Boardman to $140,454 in Austintown.

Auditor Ralph Meachum says the study is based on information from the Fiscal Year 2021 Cupp Report, which is based on data supplied by school districts to the Ohio Department of Education, as well as salary data, and each district’s five-year forecast.

Conceding that the report is not comprehensive, the Auditor says it allows taxpayers in each district to compare financial and demographic data.

Below are some highlights of the report. More information may be seen below.
