Shelby County Public Library - Shelbyville, Indiana. Welcome to the VELMA WORTMAN MORRISTOWN BRANCH of the Shelby County Public Library. Our library is dedicated to Mrs. Velma Wortman who was the first high school librarian at Morristown. We are pleased to honor Mrs. Wortman.
Families with college students and students themselves will spend $136.95 on apparel, $117.98 on food items to stock their dorms and apartments, $66.70 on school supplies, $72.79 on shoes and $78.02 on personal care items.
The Education Market Association says that virtually all teachers wind up paying out of pocket for supplies, and itâs not chump change, either. On average, most spent nearly $500 last year, and one in 10 spent $1,000 or more. All told, a total of $1.6 billion in school supply costs is shifted from parents â or, increasingly, from cash-strapped districts â onto teachers themselves.
