Last August, most of our area flooded due to Hurricane Harvey. Most of our students and teachers had homes with 3+ feet of water. Harvey hit the day we were supposed to start school. Many students lost school clothes and school supplies, in addition to losing their homes. Four out of the six campuses in our district also flooded. Recovery is slow and still on-going. We are hoping all campuses will be repaired in time for this school year.
The teachers and campuses lost a majority of their supplies. We were fortunate. So many people, all across the state, donated supplies to help our kids make it through the school year. But the teachers are still trying to replace many items that were lost. We had quite a few calculators damaged by the flood water. Calculators are essential to teaching high school math. Most of our classes rely on very expensive graphing calculators. None of the teachers on my campus have a fully functioning set of graphing calculators. I teach Geometry, and we can manage with much cheaper scientific calculators. I could try to require my students to purchase their own calculator, but I hate to ask that of their families. It would be just one more expense on top of the past year of hurricane recovery. If I were able to provide a classroom set of scientific calculators for my students to use, then I could free up the graphing calculators assigned to me. Other teachers and students, who need them more than my class does, could use them.
