Teachers buying everyday room supplies out of pocket because the school board rejects every requisition saying "There's no budget for that"


Good point that appies to many subjects. When my wife was Teaching High School English, she also taught Drama. Clearly not a big deal now 20 years later.
We had to lay out quite a bit of money, buying supplies. For class and for the plays they put on. Even if they had a production which the school charged admission for, the money never came back to the class. Not a penny.
Money for Supplies were, makeup, props costumes, paint for the sets and even scripts. And this was back in the early 1990s.
She belonged to the local theatre companty and it used the school and they never had to pay the school. The school didn't even get a cut of the door. Yet when the town's Theatre Company came to rehearse, which was days and nights, they bumped school classes that used the Auditorium. It was very unfair.

It's all gone today. They haven't had a play in many years. It's very sad.
