The Martin County School District is pleased to announce a significant initiative aimed at supporting students and their families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. Under the direction of Superintendent Michael Maine, the District's Finance Division has allocated over $300,000 in funds to cover the costs of school supplies for all students at each traditional, comprehensive campus within the district.
This initiative is designed to ensure that every student has access to the necessary supplies to succeed from the very first day of school, while also alleviating the financial burden on families. The funding allocations are as follows:
- $20,000 for each elementary school
- $10,000 for each middle school
- $5,000 for each high school
"We are committed to supporting our students and their families," said Superintendent Maine. "By providing these essential supplies, we are removing barriers to learning and ensuring that every student is ready to start the school year on the right foot."
Note: This funding may not include purchases for backpacks, lab needs for secondary students, special calculators, etc., that parents may still need to explore. The Martin County School District encourages families to take advantage of the upcoming tax-free holiday beginning July 29, 2024.
