Brooklyn Teachers Use Own Money, Fundraisers to Purchase Classroom Supplies
Briefly

It is common for teachers nationwide to dip into their bank accounts to buy necessary school supplies at the beginning of each school year. Over 90% of all teachers spend between $500 to $750 of their own money annually.
Joshua Reed created his GoFundMe fundraiser and has almost reached his goal of raising $2,500. His budget was really, really small, with $70 split between him and a co-teacher.
Reed expressed a desire to provide not only classroom supplies but also essential personal items for students. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that their needs are met during long school hours.
Many teachers utilize crowdsourcing platforms like GoFundMe for financial support, while alternative methods also exist as principals and PTAs work to allocate funds for necessary supplies.
