Administrators at a school district in San Diego County are planning to hold discussions early next year over whether to allow a high school teacher to keep selling ad space on tests to raise money for classroom supplies.Poway Unified School District Superintendent Donald Phillips said that he praises Rancho Bernardo High School math instructor Tom Farber for his creativity, but that the practice could lead to legal problems if an ad is ever declined.Farber charges his students' parents $20 to print messages on tests and $30 for space on final exams. Most parents print inspirational messages, but some have started plugging their businesses.Farber says he raised $455 in a semester.
