Classroom Money
By bamagirl

This year, every teacher in my school received $450 classroom money. Next year, we will be getting $525!!! The money is not available until October, and we must spend it by late April. I always spend every penny of it!!!
:D Our PTO usually deposits an additional $200 per teacher into our account at the end of the school year. This money can be saved from year to year, and we can spend it at any time.

Desk supplies (staples, tape, envelopes, transparencies, Expo markers, Vis-A-Vis, etc.) are kept in a little room in the office. We can get these as needed until they run out. It is usually

well stocked, and the office reorders as needed.

Our copies are unlimited, and plain white paper is almost always provided by the school. Sometimes we run out towards the end of the school year, so I always keep a few reams in my room in case of an emergency! We are often given a speech about "cutting down our number of copies," and I'm sure there are teachers who abuse this. I do try to only copy what is necessary, and I try to do 2-sided copies when I can. :)
