Grabbing some numbers from Census bureau site and also a quick grab from educationreport.org..

$5,967,918,000 this... is the amount paid in wages to public school teachers in Michigan (fiscal year 2005-2006)
$2,743,465,000 this... is the amount paid in Benefits to public school teachers in Michigan (fiscal year 2005-2006)

$3,185,199,000 this... is the amount paid in wages to public school support staff (Lunchroom ladies, joe the janitor etc..) in Michigan (fiscal year 2005-2006)
$1,514,265,000 this... is the amount paid in Benefits to public school support staff (Lunchroom ladies, joe the janitor etc..) in Michigan (fiscal year 2005-2006)

Michigan teachers earned about $57,000 for the same fiscal year.. $26,000 (roughly, according to the census relationships shown above) again for added benefits. (numbers do NOT include operational costs.. only wages and bennies)

Ok.. Story is told.. but questions remain...
