Today's economy is tight and gas prices are through the roof so, any any opportunity to save money is welcome. Another school year is coming to a close and every parent knows how expensive a public education is these days, especially if your kids are in the EVSC. There are many ways to save big on things like textbooks, lunches, getting the kids to and from school, tutoring and supplies.
