This is awful news! I am so sorry-
I'm in a pre k -12 position and regularly use grants, fundraisers etc. My
print/media budget for my main collection is roughly $6.78 per student.
This does not included literacy circle, guided reading collections or
mentor texts. We have 799 students in district. Good luck!
