Since I teach Pre K and even though I spend a TON of my own money (including a new computer this past year to allow me to work on lesson plans from home) am I correct to understand that I cannot claim the educator expense deduction?

Yes, both the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning credit may be available. TurboTax guides you through entering the information and putting it on the correct tax forms.
Thank you,

Many classroom teachers must make up for deficits in the funding for public education by supply materials out of their own pockets; now it will be more difficult or impossible for them to do so, especially if tax relief for the middle class also expires.
