What is referred to as "pencil lead" is actually graphite. Lead is a much too toxic substance to be used in pencils. If the world's graphite supply were top run out there would be no more pencils in school or anywhere else.

This could lead to higher costs for these items and potentially impact the availability of certain writing tools in schools.
