Fix School District Spending

Stop school districts from wasting funds on buying new curriculum materials from publishers who are making huge profits, and use the money instead to retain teachers and essential programs for kids.

Why is this important?

Schools in our district have been laying off teachers every year, and cutting services for students steadily, from class size increase to eliminating important educational programs, and now furlough days for schools. Yet, they spend millions on purchasing new curriculum material and staff training associated with these new purchases. How is that justified?
