School Districts Savings

In preparation for the upcoming 2009-10 school year, education service centers will be under increased scrutiny to not only save money for school districts but also to quantify those savings to each school district customer.

An example of this would be...school district A purchases classroom supplies via an AEPA catalog contract. The contract provides a 28% discount to school district customers in Kansas. The normal retail rate for this purchase would be $100.00 but, by using the AEPA contract, the school district price is $72.00, a savings of $28.00.

Leading up to the beginning of the 2009-10 school year, my challenge to each Greenbush business partner is to begin quantifying the dollars you saved for school districts in Kansas in 2008-09 and to communicate that to me. We can then work, as partners, to communicate that to our school district customers.
