We just adopted a great new art book this year. Now we need real art supplies in the elementary classroom. Supplies that teachers don't have to purchase themselves. Teachers need monies for classrooms. We spend a lot of our own money.
More money needs to be devoted to educational and instructional supplies.
Some programs don't require the use of texts. New textbook warehouse is an improvement. No school should be without needed textbooks, because the warehouse is closed for inventory. Too much red tape. The competitive low bids are not always the best in purchasing equipment, materials, etc.
