How Much Paper Do Schools Use?

Using roughly 2,000 sheets of paper per day, a school will consume as much as 320,000 sheets of paper over the course of the school year. Based off the average price of paper at 5 cents, that means schools can expect to be spending around $100 per day and $16,000 per year on the cost of paper alone—not to mention the indirect costs like filing cabinets to store education records.
