Students on our campus from all grade levels used to come to my class to print presentation materials, maps, charts, and any other color printing needs. Once my printer died, the district decided not to replace any color printers on individual campuses.
Many students not only used the color printouts for better understanding of things in academic classes (such as maps in science and social studies, charts in math and science, and colored anchors of support in reading and language arts), but they also used the printers to create projects and products for their environmental sciences classes and robotic manuals for their elective classes. Having access to color copies is something many students don't often get anymore in their classes and having the colored resources helps to further many students' understanding of the content.
As a leadership member on my campus, I feel as though not having access to fully colored resources puts many of our students (especially those who fall into Section 504, Special Education, and Emergent Bilingual categories) at a disadvantage. These students use these resources as a way to gain a better understanding of the topics being presented and colored maps and charts help them to better differentiate the details being taught.
