With schools reopening across the region, Los Angeles County school teachers are asking for school supplies to keep their classrooms running so they can teach students with the best resources possible.

A recent survey by the nonprofit AdoptAClassroom.org found that teachers spent about $750 on school supplies out of their own pocket each year. In that same survey, about 30 percent of teachers were spending $1,000 or more, a 25 percent increase from last year.

One teacher told CBSLA that she believes a lot of the added costs on educators are leading to a teacher shortage.
