<p>As expected, our inquiry has generated several questions from the vendor community. Below, we are responding to the third round of questions. If your questions are not answered with the below communication, we are still awaiting a response from our Adoption Coordinators. We will forward additional responses as we receive replies. . . RFI11061 SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL VENDOR QUESTION For Science Materials, the date for “samples required to be received” is Jan. 24. This is a short turn-around to ship and deliver. If the samples arrive shortly after (a few days) will they be accepted for the Curriculum Adoption Review? DISTRICT RESPONSE The District will maintain its originally stated deadlines/dates. We are including below, and excerpt from the original RFI communication regarding deadlines for the Science materials. IMPORTANT DATES: SCIENCE AND MUSIC DATE INFORMATION/SAMPLES REQUESTED FROM VENDOR: 14 January 2011 LAST DAY FOR QUESTIONS TO BE E-MAILED TO THE DISTRICT IS NO LATER THAN: 20 January 2011 INFORMATION/SAMPLES REQUIRED TO BE RECEIVED AT THE DISTRICT NO LATER THAN: 24 January 2011 . If, any dates/deadlines are to change on any of our adoptions, we will broadcast that out thru WOATRA and our supplemental e-mail address list.

RFI11063 Language Arts/Literacy-Middle School Grade 6, 7, &amp; 8th VENDOR QUESTION If books are only available in PB (paperback) should we not submit? DISTRICT RESPONSE No, please do offer them for consideration. It may be that the majority of books are HC (hard cover) and some that do not come in HC but are compelling books that will hook readers should be added. VENDOR QUESTION Based on the reply from the second round of questions I am not clear – For the Language Arts classroom libraries and novels are you only considering hard copy? DISTRICT RESPONSE We will be ordering hardcover for the libraries. If, any dates/deadlines are to change on any of our adoptions, we will broadcast that out thru WOATRA and our supplemental e-mail address list.
