Did you know that the teachers in Clark County Nevada are in such need for school funding that they spend about $1200 each on school supplies and office supplies for their classrooms? We have been in a real financial downfall for a long time and Clark County has a very poor funding system. It is said that over half of the money used for Clark County Schools Funding comes from Casinos. Thats quite a bit of money if you look at the big picture. But where is it all going? Surely they are not spending all that money to buy office supplies if teachers are out spending $1200 a year of their own money for their needs.
This is a real issue in Clark County. Since I have been here I have seen a real drop in education. Coming from the East Coast where education is very important I see the massive difference in the level of education from one side of the country to the other.
There is an online store that offers plenty of office supplies at pretty good prices. Maybe we can get them involved to offer discounts to teachers so that their $1200 a year out of pocket will stretch a little further.
