How much do Lakota employees cost?
People have asked me for some numbers relating to Lakota’s budget, of which 80 percent goes toward personnel. Here are some of the numbers I gathered.
The cost of education: $100 million: salaries for Lakota’s 1,700 employees $33 million: benefits $60,000: average teacher salary $10,000: average district share of employee health insurance $79,000: average cost of a teacher including retirement/benefits
I will be writing a story on retirement plans for next week per requests from several readers. What other numbers would you like to see. How about story ideas? Leading up to the Lakota levy and contract negotiations, I will aim to write a finance-related story each week.
