Focused Education's Services for School Districts
Focused Education offers cost and administrative savings through collaborative procurement for the K-12 sector. We establish shared contracts for select goods and services and we provide support for best procurement practices.
Focused Education's services are meant to complement procurement activities at the individual district level, not replace them. As Focused Education contracts are accessed and used, districts will be able to redirect the resources saved.
