Resource Training & Solutions is pleased to introduce Communications Co-Op, a quarterly blog to provide insights and information you can use right now to improve your strategic communications.
Leaders cite a lack of understanding among stakeholders of the complexity of district issues as a key challenge at best, or at worst, a lack of desire to be informed. So, the question is, how do school leaders build trust across the broader community to meet today’s and tomorrow’s operational challenges?
As a district leader, you need to be heard and understood. You need your community to pull behind you in good times and bad. You need to be just as important to every member of your community as they are to your schools. This is what sound communications can do for you. It's not a "nice to have." It's a "need to have." And we can help you so that you can do what you do best: Lead.

Our Cooperative Purchasing Program offers members a wide range of high-quality products and services at discounted rates. By combining the purchasing power of all Members, we can achieve volume pricing on quality products and services from reputable vendors. We work with the vendors but FOR the Members.
Vendors we provide are the result of either formal bids (identified as State Bid or SB) or negotiated contracts (identified as Preferred Vendors or PV).
The contracted vendors we have known as State Bid or SB vendors are established through formal bids and purchasing from them satisfies Minnesota competitive bidding requirements - regardless of the amount of the purchase. The ability to do so is outlined in Minnesota Statutes123A.2 and 471.345.
The combination of these two statutes gives members the ability to purchase from contracted vendors while remaining in compliance with the Minnesota competitive bidding requirements.
Express brings you the ease and convenience of ordering from multiple vendors on one site while knowing that the contracts you are purchasing from have been chosen according to state purchasing regulations.
