Here is my attempt at answering this-- I'm not to good at this UNIX stuff,
but I'm trying....

> What major item(s) of equipment or other instructional materials do
> you consider very important to your program?
STUDENTS, textbook, whiteboard, pens, enthusiasm, student aides.
Also:  metersticks, string, marbles, stuff like that, stopwatches, masses,
spring scales.  Optics stuff like spherical mirrors, lenses, etc. (essential!)
magnets...

But lately they've been asking us for lists of the REAL stuff that we want:
DC power, multimeters, lasers, ripple tanks, a balance.

Then there's demonstration equipment -- almost all of mine is older than I
am but I do have one oscilloscope.

> How many levels of physics does your school offer?
Just one, but there are four full sections (130 students total).
>
> How large is your school?  (Number of students)
1465.

I'm telling you all of this because I DON'T think that you want to compare
yourself to California public schools....   We have the good weather out
here, but a mixed-up funding system for schools (in my opinion).  What's
your annual budget for supplies?  Mine is $100 per section.
