    Theory on supplies, I have built the word 'expendable' into each
    conversation about supplies. The administration needs to know that once you
    use the paper, the paint, etc, it is gone~! I even invited them in to see
    the bare coffers. Our district is wierd in that we have to budget our
    supplies BEFORE kids sign up for the courses (and that is now for next
    September--although we 'ordered' our supplies last September '99 for
    September '00~go figure). We over- order by about 50%, they have a heart
    attack, and cut back 35%-50%, and well you get how the game is played. Over
    the years I have learned to make somethin' out of nuthin' like the rest of
    us, and if you come into my tiny tiny art room with no storage you would see
    a corner full of cardboard given to me by the electricians who unpacked the
    'security mirrors' to hang in the hall. I have essentially 'trained'
    everyone to 'dump' the stuff in my room BEFORE it goes to the dumpster!
