Settlement of schools’ copier contract ‘spends to save’ with Xerox (flate rate program)

WTF?  Now Xerox is offering "flat rate"? Toshiba charging per student?   Would love to hear from others on this

Toshiba charged ABSS $8.34 per student per quarter, or more than $750,000 a year, while Xerox charges a flat rate for unlimited black-and-white copies of $49,953 per month for 59 months, or $599,436 a year.

First Ive heard of this and it's concerning that this is in a school district.  wish I had more details.  The school district is in North Carolina curious if there is an open records act there, would be great to see the t's & c's. @Jason H is this something you can get?

somebody needs to get a copy of these documents so that we can understand more about this program.  Any takers?

This will certainly have an effect on the dealers. I’d love to see what that actually entailed. 

Yup would love to have a copy of that agreement

The last paragraph says it all as do most last paragraphs in news stories. Thanks Common Core! What a disaster.

@Tom T help me understand more about common core please

It’s a federal change on how kids learn things like math. It’s largely unpopular and has basically made education worse.
