Ed Leaders and Tecos,

Special pricing for Discovery Streaming (United Streaming) is finally available! The discounts are based on volume (the more buildings participating the greater the discount) and a June 15, 2008 deadline. It is important that you respond quickly if you would like to benefit from this discount.

Remember Discovery Streaming is sold by building, not district. Please read the information carefully on the document link below and respond as soon as possible if you wish to participate. The order form needs be faxed to the EduTech office by June 15, 2008. Discovery Streaming will bill your school after that date.

IMPORTANT- buildings with less than 200 students do not receive the volume discount as the low enrollment price is already significantly discounted.

I am available for questions as are the Discovery Reps listed on the bottom of the document linked below. If your current contract goes later than the June 15 date please contact a Discovery Rep.

Thank you!
