You're probably thinking
of the educator expense deduction on the federal return.
If you teach
kindergarten through grade 12 in a public or private school and you personally
pay unreimbursed, out-of-pocket expenses for books, supplies, and other
materials you use in the classroom, you can claim a deduction on your federal
return for up to $250.
