That's a wrap on August! This month our CIESC team was on the move — from Keep Indiana Learning's Teacher Evaluation Training to kicking off the CIESC Executive Assistant Cadre, August was full of opportunities to pour into our educators. Grateful for every district that showed up ready to learn. (Pictured is Ryan Murray sharing AI tips and tools with the Administrative Assistant Cadre)

After providing a comprehensive cooperative purchasing service to school districts across the state for the past 15 years, we recently entered into partnership agreements with nearly all other educational service centers in Indiana to create the Educational Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (ECPA).

Not only do school districts benefit from the incredible discounted pricing negotiated with vendors, but they also don't have to worry about the time commitment needed to engage in their own RFP process.

In 24-25, Indiana school districts saved over $9 million utilizing this program, and we expect to greatly exceed that savings this school year.
