April 11 AEPA Meeting

Vendor report cards: Kansas ranks 8th in gross sales among the 22 member states of AEPA. Kansas rose three spots since November 2007.

After discussion of AESA partnership, we will be opening dialog with the following entities in Kansas in order to continue to create awareness of AEPA in school districts in Kansas:
  • Unites School Administrators
  • Kansas Assn. of School Administrators
  • Kansas Assn. of School Boards
  • Council of Superintendents
  • Kansas Assns. of School Principals
  • Kansas Assn. of School Business Officials
  • Kansas Dept. of Education
Brian Talbott addressed the group in regard to the pending AEPA/AESA partnership. Brian seeks to communicate AEPA benefits to non-AEPA states and, possibly, bring in new members to AEPA. Brian seeks to introduce more vendors to AEPA through the AESA network. Brian said many ESAs have received requests from school districts to serve as general contractors/construction managers in order to coordinate construction projects for school districts.

Vendor roundtables: Notes from each vendor roundtable discussion are forthcoming.
