The district I work for is also low on funds but the PTO does have money and has helped buy objects in the past. So maybe check with them. Also the PTO did a fundraiser that involved walking around the track, while a live band played. The students raised money by just asking for donations. They were able to raise a few thousand dollars this way but didn't meet the school goal. This year I was asked to help boost donations and will get a few dollars to spend on equipment. So maybe try fundraising with the help of the PTO

I am in a district with 90% poverty rate. In the past couple years we had new superintendent and administration. Luckily they did upgrade the districts technology. We were way behind. We have had discussions in our department and PLC's about Title 1 funds to update equipment. We have just gotten used to the upgrades so far but we are looking into those funds too. We are fortunately next to a hospital. WE have thought about asking them for equipment or money to help. Any suggestions for my school would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
