My Students
My amazing school is a Title 1 school located in Brooklyn, NY. My school is an outlier in our district. Unlike the other schools in the neighborhood our school budget is always tight. I frequently run out of supplies like copy paper, printer ink and pencils. Some of these items, such as printer ink are expenses that are paid for by classroom teachers. Our parents aren't able to provide donations to the school PTA like many of the other schools in our district.
The majority of my students are first generation immigrants hailing from such locations as Bangladesh, Mexico, Ukraine, Yemen and China.
Our school is a cultural melting pot where over 15 different languages are spoken! Since we are a Title I school, most students receive free breakfast and lunch. Although we don't get many donations from our parents, our PTA has managed to offer fantastic after school clubs and art opportunities to our students, and they have figured out ways to extend our budget so that many students can participate in these programs free of charge.
My Project
In my school, classroom teachers are responsible for buying and maintaining their own classroom printers. Our current ink jet classroom printer is constantly being used for printing student work, supplemental reading material, and for copying.
So far, this year, I have already purchased and used 5 black ink cartridges for our little ink jet printer (that's about 1 cartridge per month)costing approximately $300!
We haven't considered using the color ink because that would require even more spending.
I am accustomed to buying my own ink, however, if possible, I would much rather spend my money on buying new and replacing old books in my classroom library.
This HP laser printer (with a full supply of toner) would help ease my monthly costs in the long run. It would also allow me to put my money towards some other necessary items in the classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
