I think there could be some benefits because the USBE requirement is unfunded. If there was a standardized platform, maybe USBE could leverage it to make things more streamlined. We were using DTL funds, but it sounds like those are likely to be cut this legislative session. 

I’m planning to do an RFP soon for a product.

This is not a space UEN has traditionally been in. What are your thoughts? Is this a space where UEN might be able to help get pricing down? Is there enough agreement among LEAs for a single or multiple award? How does your district fund this?


Cheers,
