No, you don't. REALLY, you don't!

Access is a relational database. There's no need to duplicate the
[sch_name] and other data in multiple tables.

You might take that approach if you were using a spreadsheet, but Access is
NOT a spreadsheet.

A common reason why folks believe they need to duplicate data between tables
is because they are trying to create a table that they would then use for
reporting. Don't!

A well-normalized relational table design stores data about Schools in one
table, data about Teachers in another, and uses a third table to show which
[Teacher]s are associated with which [School]s. Then you use a query to
join these together and base your report on the query.

Good luck!
