"It will make your job easier to have consistent #RFP evaluation criteria." - Emily Chatelain from School Food Wellness #NCSC19 #procurement #operatestrand

Emily Chatelain from School Food Wellness: "Everybody is going to address your RFP needs differently, and that's why it's important to have weighted criteria." (and price shouldn't be weighted higher than 40%) #NCSC19

Trying to find the right vendor? "Sometimes, it's just not totally about price. It's a bit of a marriage so ask all the questions and be honest." - Stephen Parmer from Uplift Education #NCSC19

Question from attendee at session: "Is e-rate purchasing worth it?" Yes, but only in certain areas with vendors who have the expertise and we're happy to chat more about that with folks. #NCSC19

Good advice when in doubt about rules and regulations or compliance: Check with your attorney as there are some states that are more stringent. - BuyQ CEO Mirco Rafanelli #NCSC19

If the cooperative that you are buying off of is more designed for state and federal agencies, it may not align with your charter school buying needs. Look at who the intended purchasers are... #NCSC19

NEW RELEASE! The most recent data shows charter school enrollment grew 7% during the first full school year of the pandemic. Read our full report to learn more about what this could mean for public education 👇 bit.ly/3EByH7I

Charter schools saw their highest enrollment growth since 2015, 42-state analysis shows buff.ly/3zubVeh

1. Charter schools ARE public schools. 2. They didn't "pick off" anything. Families chose them. 3. If 200K+ families made a similar decision in one year, we should ask why 4. If more charters were available and had space, the change would've been bigger axios.com/charter-school…
