School supplies were delivered Thursday to each of the eight campuses within the Jacksonville Independent School District. The deliveries were the culmination of efforts led by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
The Chamber reported it was able to purchase $15,000 worth of supplies in its 21st annual Back 2 School Supply Drive. With the Walmart rollback pricing, the materials purchased cost $10,606.28. There was discussion between the chamber and school district about possibly purchasing additional supplies.<\/p>\n
