·
Ensure a reasonable and realistic number of specific items (e.g.,

·
Use generic descriptions rather than specific brand names to allow
families to shop according to individual family budgets.
·
Cleaning, personal care, and first aid supplies like soap,
sanitizer, tissues, wet wipes, paper towels, and band-aids should be purchased
by the school.
·
Technology support equipment (e.g., headphones) should be purchased by the
