Elementary Art Budget

by Newbie

Jul 21, 2013

I am a new teacher, and I will be teaching K-6 in a school in a district that has never had art. There isn't really a program in place, and I haven't been given a budget. I was told to submit what I think I need. As we know, art supplies are expensive, so I was wondering what your budgets look like so I can get a guideline. I don't want to submit a carte blanche list, only to be told I can have the glue and the watercolors (haha) so I wanted to try to work within a realistic budget once I gauge what that is.

My principal understood that I needed extra funds to buy one-time purchases like drying racks, a paper cutter, tables, etc. Through our PTO I was even able to buy a kiln! Now I have a $900 budget for about 450 students, which really only covers the basic supplies...See More

ugh It depends on how many kiddos you'll have, so I'm having a hard time responding with a ballpark figure.

I get $100 for 800 kids, so hopefully you'll do better.

NJArt I don't know why my last message erased what I wrote. Weird. Anyway, I get $6,000 per year for 750 kids... but I understand that in general I get a lot more then most elementary art teachers. I would say figure out what you need, then ask for some wants... this way if they tell you to cut back you can. Ask for more then you need... you never know, ...See More
