Region 11 approves Typesy for district purchasing through 2031

eReflect’s Typesy keyboarding curriculum has been approved under Region 11 ESC’s K-12 digital resources RFP, opening cooperative purchasing access for member districts through June 2031. The move gives schools a faster way to add typing instruction without running their own procurement process.

Why it matters: - Region 11 member districts can now buy Typesy through a cooperative agreement instead of handling a separate bid or contract process. - The approval extends access to districts across Region 11’s service area, broadening potential use beyond a single district. - The arrangement may speed adoption of keyboarding and typing tools in classrooms, intervention programs and technology instruction.
