These vendors sell curriculum materials for each grade level. Some provide placement
assessments. Visit each company’s website for more information. These vendors are
already in our system: they take POs and they have already submitted their W9.
Please note that VOC curriculum funds generally cover only a portion of a full
curriculum program. Certain text books can be found in the school library, so you may
not need to purchase the whole package. You can simply buy the workbooks you need
to support your choice. However, any one item over $100 must be authorized by the
director.
