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.

Lonna I also furnished a new art room my first year, so my budget that year was much bigger.

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
