Board approves three-year renewal for Discovery Education social studies techbook for middle schools
Summary
The board approved a three-year renewal of Discovery Education social studies techbook licenses for middle schools at a total cost of $52,135.50 from operational funds, including virtual professional learning hours.
The Queen Anne's County Board of Education approved a three-year renewal on June 18 for the district’s Discovery Education social studies techbook for use in middle schools.
Darren Guido, supervisor of instruction for social studies and related programs, said the district has used the Discovery Education resource since 2018 and requested a three-year renewal to obtain a 5% discount over the term. The purchase includes teacher and student digital licenses and four hours of virtual professional learning. Guido said the total fiscal impact for the three-year renewal is $52,135.50 and that the budget source is operational funds.
Board members asked whether the $52,135.50 figure was the total for three years or annual; Guido confirmed it covered the full three-year subscription. A motion to approve the three-year renewal passed by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye," with no roll-call tally recorded.
