[CASL-L] Question on NEWSELA

[Fitzgerald, Joy]

Hello,

     Do any other schools use the PRO version of NEWSELA?

       And how does your school fund this?  I spoke to a Rep on Friday afternoon and he quoted me about $ 8.53 per student for whole high school, and it came out to over $ 8,000 for a year for my high school of 826 students.  I feel this is way out of the ball park as not all teachers want to use it.  I asked if I would be able to get a grade level license and the best he said he could do was $ 1300. for a 3 month period as an introductory price.

       If you have it, how does your school pay for it?  Does it come out of the Library Online Services/Database funding? Or another account?

       Joy
