Cooperative Bid Project

This program is designed to establish statewide bid prices for a wide variety of products.   As a result of this project, schools may purchase items such as: laminating film, CDs, audio/video tapes, transparency film, TVs, VCRs, computers, calculators, computer software, data projectors, notebooks, copy paper, batteries, binding units, and much more.  The result of this cooperative buying power is that local school districts are able to save thousands of tax dollars. The statewide savings to schools during the 2005 year alone was $32 million.  For the full catalog of prouducts and information on how to order, visit:  www.remcbid.org

Videos

MAISD has numerous videos available for loan that were purchased with Title V and Title VI funds.  Normal booking, allows these videos to be checked out for one week. Extensions can be made when necessary, providing it does not conflict with another booking.  

Since their location and packaging are not suitable for shelf browsing, a keyword search in our media manager site can easily locate these videos for your use.
