PRICING:
 
ESSDACK and The School Improvement Network have worked together to establish a special pricing initiative designed to meet the unique situation of rural schools.  This Rural Pricing Initiative allows districts to purchase and implement PD 360 district-wide based on the pricing model (per building or per teacher) which is most advantageous based on the district demographics.  Please contact Deb Haneke (debh@essdack.org) or Troy Williams (troy.williams@schoolimprovement.com) for details about the Rural Pricing Initiative and how it can help you bring the power of PD 360 to your district.
