Legally, it can't happen in California due to AB1575-see below. csuhpat1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12324673812333885120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108710850463187033.post-49298265251949358702017-08-03T09:58:03.514-05:002017-08-03T09:58:03.514-05:00Amen on that.

As an educator, I always buy a bunch of supplies from Dollar Tree and also I kind of load up on pencils, pens and other stuff at all the local festivals and fairs I go to during the year.<br /><br />In California, we have a law (AB 1575),with few exceptions, prohibits schools from charging fees for classroom items and activities and from requiring students to bring materials needed for school. It covers everything from 25-cent pencils and $5 binders to $350 field trips and $500 football uniforms. It resulted from the settlement of a lawsuit against the state, the law reinforces what the California Constitution has guaranteed for nearly 140 years: a free public education. Basically, it started when a school district in Southern California starting charging for regular school books during the recession, the ACLU sued and the AB1575 was the result. So, technical sense we can't make anybody bring anything and the school, not even a pencil, and the school has to supply it. <br /><br />Thanks for hosting.csuhpat1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12324673812333885120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1108710850463187033.post-55932298963662927402017-08-03T09:34:30.395-05:002017-08-03T09:34:30.395-05:00Awesome program.
