` :::Jim, If you actually take the trouble to read the results of your Google searches you will see that resource room in the UK means something completely different to the way that you use it in the US and has nothing to do with special education. It is a room where teaching resources are stored (ie, paperwork, equipment, etc) as is made clear in this reference: http://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5753 which specifically states. The reception is bright and airy with a large administration office, head teacher's room and medical room located nearby. There is a separate resource room where all the teaching materials are located.`` Words and phrases in American English and British English can often have very different meanings. Can you find a single reference to show that the term resource room as used in the US is universally recognised?   `
