PDE Professional Personnel Individual Staff Report, aggregated to the district by DistrictFacts. PDE publishes a row per staff assignment naming each employee; only district-level aggregates are published here, and any role with fewer than 11 staff in the district is withheld rather than shown. Mean annual salary of staff in PDE category "Classroom Teachers".

Real estate tax rate in mills set in the district's own General Fund Budget and reported to PDE for 2025-26. One mill is $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. Counties, not districts, set assessed values and assess at different fractions of market value, so mills are not comparable between counties.
