Music? Athletics? A/V Equipment? Salaries?
Or do you ... raise taxes?

Existing music and athletic depts. have fund-raising events (bake sales, bingo night, etc.). Apparently there has been more parental support for those subjects than industrial arts, fine arts, home econ. etc. Unfortunately, short-sighted.
The more subjects a person is exposed to, the better off that person will be in the long run. It also helps identify one's preference for type of work, subject matter, work environment, etc.
