Motion: That the Board of School Directors approves the purchase of elementary reading materials in the amount of $20,570.11 per the attached document.

The purchase of elementary reading materials at this time allows us to save $6200 because the company is giving us one book free for every three that we purchase. This offer will not exist if we wait until the new budget year to make the purchase. We would be purchasing all materials at full price. These are consumable materials that we purchase each year.
