[Continential]

This is an act to fund the purchase of supplies and materials by teachers so they don't have to purchase them out of their own pocket.

[Ebowed]

My first thought was that it would make more sense to just adequately fund the educational department so that teachers don't need to buy school supplies in the first place.  But needs won't always be uniform across different locations, and teachers may well appreciate the autonomy as they'd know best what their students need.
