      IN PUBLIC SCHOOL, YOU'LL Probably Be Responsible For

      You might be astonished to see how much each parent is expected to spend on each of their children's school supplies. Much of this is due to a lack of funding for public schools, as well as technology advancements and local governments' refusal to raise taxes to cover the additional costs.

      Books: You may be required to pay book fees in order for your child to utilize the books at school. Some schools now offer electronic books that your child can retain on a tablet, while others still offer traditional books.

      Each district, as well as each school within the district, is frequently unique. Fees can range from a few hundred dollars per child to thousands of dollars in some situations.
