After some chats over lunch, I have found out that my school is just about broke.
The school I'm subbing in is a public charter school BUT receives much less money than other public schools. See, in North Carolina, they use Lottery money for public education. All public schools receive funding from the state lottery, BUT charter school.
My school have so little funds that they don't even have on staff janitors, nurses, or "specials" teachers such as gym or art.
The students are wonderfully behaved and over all happy. Which makes me sad that they don't receive as many "extras" as other public schools.
I guess we have to work with what we got.
