It is a fact that school districts are under increasing pressure to cut costs as they struggle with declining budgets. Some short-sighted administrators respond by seeking out the cheapest possible school furniture. At first, their decision looks like a good one. Their schools have the school furnture they need and their expenditures were very low. Yet, if the school furniture they select is really cheaply made, it is liable to break down and need to be replaced with a short amount of time. The first time you need to replace school furniture, you have doubled your costs. If you still buy units that cannot last, your costs will grow exponentially. Suddenly, the wise decision doesn't look so wise any more. But there is a better way.
