Microsoft Purchasing Program

The Illinois Learning & Technology Purchasing Program (ILTPP) has established a Microsoft purchasing program for all Illinois K-12 teachers, staff, and students.  These are licenses that students, faculty, and staff buy on their own and will personally own forever.  In the past this group would have to pay $499 for Office Professional in local stores.  Through this purchasing program, the same product costs less than $90.  Parents and staff can literally save hundreds of dollars and obtain lifelong learning tools.  All pricing and orders can be found at: http://www.cdwg.com/academic/store.  From the menu on the site, choose K-12, United States, Illinois, Morton Community Unit School District 709, to see the software available.
