J. M. Roberts Quotes
We had to buy furniture and computers; we had to put a teacher's desk, wall unit and file cabinet in each classroom. We ordered all those items six months ago from different manufacturers. When they were delivered, they were stored and some pieces had to be assembled. We ordered half a million dollars worth of textbooks. It took a great deal of planning by everyone in the school district - from the custodians planning on how to schedule cleaning to how we were going to supply books and teachers. It was an unbelievably complex project.
