So, we looked at it a district school. So, we looked at it a district school. So, we looked at it a couple different ways. couple different ways. couple different ways. Uh we looked at um Uh we looked at um Uh we looked at um looking at purchasing three modules at looking at purchasing three modules at looking at purchasing three modules at first um because typically with this first um because typically with this first um because typically with this transition, uh it'll take us a couple of transition, uh it'll take us a couple of transition, uh it'll take us a couple of 3 years to really go through the three 3 years to really go through the three 3 years to really go through the three modules consistently and then add in the modules consistently and then add in the modules consistently and then add in the fourth module down the line fourth module down the line fourth module down the line as as a as a way of rounding out the as as a as a way of rounding out the as as a as a way of rounding out the program. We also ask that the quote out program. We also ask that the quote out program. We also ask that the quote out all four modules so that we have all four modules so that we have all four modules so that we have everything we need everything we need everything we need to start out the program beginning to start out the program beginning to start out the program beginning 2027-2028. 2027-2028. 2027-2028. Um Um Um And there's also the professional And there's also the professional And there's also the professional development. development. development. So the quote for all four modules, when So the quote for all four modules, when So the quote for all four modules, when I say all four modules, we're talking I say all four modules, we're talking I say all four modules, we're talking about the recommended trade books, about the recommended trade books, about the recommended trade books, the required trade books, the student the required trade books, the student the required trade books, the student editions, and the teacher editions. So editions, and the teacher editions. So editions, and the teacher editions. So it's really important that we have not it's really important that we have not it's really important that we have not only the recommended trade books, only the recommended trade books, only the recommended trade books, excuse me, the required trade books, but excuse me, the required trade books, but excuse me, the required trade books, but the recommended one as well because the recommended one as well because the recommended one as well because that's that sort of that's that sort of that's that sort of library of books. If kids are struggling library of books. If kids are struggling library of books. If kids are struggling at a particular level at a particular level at a particular level while we're working with them in the while we're working with them in the while we're working with them in the classroom and using that specific text, classroom and using that specific text, classroom and using that specific text, the recommended text books allow a child the recommended text books allow a child the recommended text books allow a child who might be at a little bit lower who might be at a little bit lower who might be at a little bit lower level, we could use that text level, we could use that text level, we could use that text and it still cover the same concepts and and it still cover the same concepts and and it still cover the same concepts and hitting the same skills that they would hitting the same skills that they would hitting the same skills that they would need. So it's important to have both of need. So it's important to have both of need. So it's important to have both of those libraries available for our those libraries available for our those libraries available for our teachers. So teachers. So teachers. So professional development wise, professional development wise, professional development wise, fortunately for us, fortunately for us, fortunately for us, our consultant Ali is a certified our consultant Ali is a certified our consultant Ali is a certified trainer in EL. trainer in EL. trainer in EL. Um Um Um Her her proposal was for $15,000 Her her proposal was for $15,000 Her her proposal was for $15,000 and I'll and I'll explain what that's and I'll and I'll explain what that's and I'll and I'll explain what that's for. EL also has a for. EL also has a for. EL also has a training as well. And so EL is a training as well. And so EL is a training as well. And so EL is a is a non-profit. So they don't is a non-profit. So they don't is a non-profit. So they don't necessarily make a lot of money off of necessarily make a lot of money off of necessarily make a lot of money off of the program itself. They make their the program itself. They make their the program itself. They make their money off of the professional money off of the professional money off of the professional development. development. development. So for the two schools, So for the two schools, So for the two schools, Ali would charge us 15,000 for Alton Ali would charge us 15,000 for Alton Ali would charge us 15,000 for Alton $15,000 for Barnstable. Through EL, it $15,000 for Barnstable. Through EL, it $15,000 for Barnstable. Through EL, it would be $40,000 for Alton and $40,000 would be $40,000 for Alton and $40,000 would be $40,000 for Alton and $40,000 for Barnstable. So I I think we're for Barnstable. So I I think we're for Barnstable. So I I think we're heading in that direction with Ali is is heading in that direction with Ali is is heading in that direction with Ali is is better. better. better. So, the quote for the four modules is So, the quote for the four modules is So, the quote for the four modules is about is about $76,515. Again, that's that's that K through 8 Again, that's that's that K through 8 piece of it. piece of it. piece of it. If we bought the three modules and then If we bought the three modules and then If we bought the three modules and then later on purchased the fourth one later on purchased the fourth one later on purchased the fourth one online, we would save about $14,000 by online, we would save about $14,000 by online, we would save about $14,000 by doing that. So, doing that. So, doing that. So, I would recommend that we go with the I would recommend that we go with the I would recommend that we go with the four modules so we have them and we can four modules so we have them and we can four modules so we have them and we can move forward with that. In this way, move forward with that. In this way, move forward with that. In this way, whenever we're ready, we're there whenever we're ready, we're there whenever we're ready, we're there and we're ready to go with that piece of and we're ready to go with that piece of and we're ready to go with that piece of it. And then again, the professional it. And then again, the professional it. And then again, the professional development money will come out of the development money will come out of the development money will come out of the operating budget for 2026-2027. operating budget for 2026-2027. operating budget for 2026-2027. >> So, there's no concern if we bought all >> So, there's no concern if we bought all >> So, there's no concern if we bought all the modules now that something could the modules now that something could the modules now that something could fall out of date between before we use fall out of date between before we use fall out of date between before we use it? it? it? >> were just updated.
