After trying kits for a year in this way, the school district might want to assure that teachers have rental kits for several years to come. A school district administrator can begin the process by completing and submitting our online Bid Request Form. The form specifies how many kits of each title the district will need over 3 years. CIBL will use this information to return a cost estimate.
