The small East Texas school district of Redlick has announced that they will be purchasing school supplies for all of their 500+ students in the 20-21 school year. The announcement was made on Facebook by Superintendent Brandon Dennard.
Redlick is home to approximately 500 students from pre-k and elementary to middle school.
Students, of course, can still pick out a special back-to-school backpack, and some folders, but the district is hoping to ease some of the pressures of getting back to school in these uncertain times by picking up the cost of school supplies. Those wishing to donate school supplies can drop them off at the Central Service Building during regular hours.
