Communication with School Districts This Week

I mailed a flyer today to all Kansas school superintendents that contained AEPA vendors of athletic surfaces/athletic supplies.

Also this week, I plan to mail a flyer to all Kansas food service directors apprising them of the products and services available to them from AEPA.

Finally, today I am preparing a mailing to school superintendents who are NOT current users of SchoolReach.

Hopefully, these direct mailings will result in Kansas school administrators having a little more knowledge of educational resources available to them from Greenbush Business Partners.

AEPA Catalogs

I sent AEPA catalogs to all Kansas school superintendents this week. I will follow that mailing up with one next week to all Kansas athletic directors.

School Purchasing Trends

I found this article in the September 2007 edition of "District Administration." It's an interesting look at current school purchasing trends.

U, Inc.

Greenbush has a very interesting new partner inquiry process occurring now with a company called "U, Inc." U, Inc. provides online training for classified school personnel, a huge niche within the school districts served by Greenbush.

Stay posted as this one develops!

eLearning

One of Greenbush's newer business partners, JKT eLearning, is prepared to launch their fall 2007 online professional development course listing this week. JKT eLearning provides eLearning professional development opportunities including online courses, webcasts, and eSeminars.
