As I teacher, I've always been advised by my administrators that the district
was responsible for basic supplies for all students.
Most students came with their own, but by law we had to provide for those who
could not. In individual budgets allocated to each teacher, paper, pencils,
pens, etc. were the first items we had to allocate for. If we had left over
inventory from the previous year, then we could spend more on items like
newspaper subscriptions, AV materials etc for our own students.
As a side issue, private companies like Pepsi, Nike, et al. would also deliver,
gratis, huge amounts of school supplies with their logos; however, I went out
of my way to make sure no brand names made it into my classroom.

These are consider personal items and are not a part of the regular supplies
for the children---I do agree our children should have access to computers,
books, and whatever else is necessary ---but I do remember when I attended
school umpteen years ago this was not supplied. We got sneakers from shoprite
and 2 guys was the back to school store although you did not want your friends
seeing you shop there.
But since the children have no say so over what is purchased with state money,
we are trying to help them not sweat the small stuff!!!

This is a great project - HOWEVER, I thought that the $85millon in
state aid/Abbott $ buys these materials.
