Oy! Detroit School Begs for Toilet Papers, Light Bulbs

ClickonDetroit.com has reported that The Academy of the Americas has sent a letter to staff and parents asking for donations. The principal has asked for items such as toilet paper, paper towel rolls, trash bags and 60, 100 or 150-watt light bulbs “that are of the utmost importance for proper school functioning and most importantly for student health and safety.”

The school district in which the school belongs is currently facing a $400 million budget deficit.

According to the Detroit Public Schools website, The Academy of the Americas has a “new state of the art multi-media room/Library”.

I took the toilet paper thumbnail photo from Marsha’s blog Breathings of the Heart where she blogged about having NO toilet paper in all four bathrooms at her house.
