Gatesville ISD launches School Resource Store to supply teachers and students
Summary
Community outreach staff introduced a School Resource Store stocked by donations and partnerships to provide free supplies and furniture to teachers and students; outreach leaders said recent inventory tallies reached about $15,000 with $30,000 distributed to date.
Pam Williams and Michelle Martin described the new School Resource Store as a district-run supply room where teachers and staff may obtain needed classroom and student supplies free of charge. The presentation credited donations from local businesses and a Fort Worth nonprofit; recent inventory trips were described as tallying roughly $15,000 and the program has distributed about $30,000 in goods to teachers and students to date.
Community Outreach staff said the program reduces costs for families and staff and engages high school transition students to assist in running the store. No formal board action was required for the informational presentation, but the store was presented as an ongoing district initiative.
