The principal of an elementary school in Melbourne is asking for toilet paper donations. And Carol Carmichael has put a large box in the school’s lobby to take the rolls.

   It isn’t just an attention-getting ploy to emphasize the budget plight of her school. It’s also a real way to get some flexibility in her spending.

   She told floridatoday.com that toilet paper donations allow her to spend her budget money on things like books or material for the classroom.
