*2022-23 Seesaw Purchasing Consortia*                                   *ACTEM
• Vita-Learns • NHSTE*

ACTEM is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Vermont & New
Hampshire again in 2022-23 for the *Seesaw Licensing Purchasing Consortia*
.
This consortia purchasing will enable schools/districts in all three
states to increase the total number of licenses purchased so we are able to
get the best pricing for all.
-------------------------------------------------
Last year, with the combined numbers from all three states, the consortia
was able to bring pricing down to $4.15 per student (a saving of $1.35 per
license).  ACTEM alone had orders for just under 26,000 Seesaw licenses for
the first year which represents a saving of over $34,000 to Maine schools.
The savings was even greater when many districts extended their orders to
3-year licensing at the same low consortia pricing. Those licenses for the
two extra years represent another $39,000 in savings for Maine Schools.

 -------------------------------------------------

   - The order form will allow schools to *choose to be invoiced before or
   after the July 1st* fiscal year changeover.
   - *Please complete the online order form by May 25, 2022, *so the
   consortia pricing can be locked in at the lowest volume rate.
   - All Seesaw orders will share the *consortia licensing term of August
   1, 2022, to July 31, 2023*

*Seesaw For Schools*

Based on historical purchases, the consortia is confident that *Seesaw For
Schools* licensing will see a large enough total aggregated order to
qualify for Seesaw’s highest volume tier (30,000+ licenses).
Seesaw has increased its pricing for the 2022-23 school year to *$6/student.
        *

*Consortia *Seesaw for Schools price is $4.85/student* for 2022-23 *(A
saving of $1.15 per student)


*Seesaw For Schools + Seesaw Lessons Bundle *

Seesaw Lessons is new this year, so the consortia has not yet established a
significant volume.  *Seesaw Lessons licensing is based on your Seesaw For
Schools licensing count.* Therefore, if you require 250 Seesaw For Schools
licenses and your school also wants to purchase Seesaw Lessons, your school
needs to purchase 250 Seesaw Lessons licenses.
The consortia has special bundled pricing that includes *both your school's
Seesaw For Schools Licensing and Seesaw Lessons for all users*.

*Consortia Bundled price of Seesaw For Schools + Seesaw Lessons
is $9.85/student for 2022-23*
