Calculators Needed
We have students in need of specialized calculators for Math classes. We have approximately 15 High School students that need the TI 83, 83+ or 84 and do not qualify for support from other community organizations. We also have approximately 5 Junior High students in need of the TI 30XIIS. The total cost is approximately $1325 to meet these needs as we are trying to buy these in bulk for reduced cost, with batteries included. However, if you have a very gently used working TI calculator of any of these models, we would welcome those as well. We know that we may have more than our initially identified students and these can continue to help meet the need.
