Vendors at NSBA

As with any EXPO, there is a big hall filled with vendors.

I spent a lot of time talking with a couple of companies that provide alert and notification services...outbound parent call notification. This business has matured over the last couple of years and now has real competition.

I believe our contract comes up for review within the next year. I am convinced that we can save at least 30% or more per year. I believe our current contract is approximately 25K per year so getting the equivalent of one year free is good for the district.

Also, this little industry insight makes me feel good since it means I have more than paid for the District's expenses in sending me to the conference.
