The study ranked Washington as the 11th highest in the nation.

As the new school year approaches, a recent survey reveals that teachers in Washington state are spending an average of $1,041 out of their own pockets on classroom supplies, ranking 11th highest in the nation. This financial burden is a reflection of the growing cost of educational materials and the increasing responsibility placed on educators to provide for their classrooms.

Despite the financial strain, Washington teachers remain committed to enhancing the learning environment for their students. Teachers purchase a wide array of items, from basic consumables like pencils and paper to classroom decor, educational aids, and even snacks. However, 65% of teachers reported having their requests for necessary supplies denied, further highlighting the financial challenges they face.
