Sources for the Pickens County figures

Pay is everything the district paid each teacher in the 2024-25 school year (July to June): salary plus supplements for coaching and extra duties. It counts only teachers the district also paid the year before who were paid at least 90% as much this year, so people who started, left or went part time during the year don't pull the figures down; the file has no hours or start dates. Substitutes, aides and Pre-K lottery teachers aren't counted. The Department of Audits and Accounts compiles the file from what each employer reports and says it has not audited or reviewed it. Medians and ranks are our own arithmetic.
