Twitter and School Supplies Spending

Twitter:
I encourage any of you who use Twitter to follow my Twitter updates as an additional tool with which you may receive daily updates and sales leads from me. My address is http://twitter.com/BradStefanoni.

Several Greenbush business partner representatives are already following my site. This is simply another way, along with the business partners blog (http://greenbushpartners.blogspot.com), to increase both the frequency and effectiveness of communication regarding the needs of school districts in Kansas.

School Supplies:
I have seen multiple newspaper columns in the last week that articulate schools cutting back on classroom supplies as a way of saving money. The bottom line is students still need supplies to ensure learning occurs in the classroom. Now is a great time for School Specialty and Corporate Express to target market directly to teachers and principals to inform them of how they can save upwards of at least 30% on classroom supplies by utilizing AEPA contracts.

I'm happy to assist, just say the word.

New Kansas Website for Stimulus

The Kansas State Department of Education will provide a website with information on the Recovery Act for Kansas school districts. The new website can be accessed from the main KSDE homepage: www.ksde.org - scroll down and select: Recovery Act (ARRA).

The website will provide the latest information available and contact information for each program. As new guidance from the U.S. Department of Education becomes available, we will update the website. We are expecting detailed guidance on specific programs later this week. When the department staff reviews the guidance, we will post the updates. Please feel free to contact KSDE staff with specific questions.
