How do districts change/increase their print order?

NOTE: Print material changes must be submitted by the Local Education Agency (LEA).

Step 1:

To change/increase a print order, first download the following form or make a copy of it on Google. Then, fill out the form. This form must be attached to your update request in the next step.

Keep in mind that any order placed after 3/15/23 will not arrive in the mid-July timeframe. Lead times depend upon publishers' current printing time, availability of raw materials, and transit times from 3rd-party carriers.

Step 2:

Submit an official change request using the Print Order Update Request| FY 23-24 form.

Requests for increased support that exceed the original LASO application quantities or product selections submitted by the LEA in March of 2023 will need to be reviewed by the TEA before an order is confirmed. However, it is unlikely that TEA will accept requests that are higher than the numbers that were originally requested. Please allow an adequate amount of time for TEA to process your request and reach out to you with an answer.

Step 3:

Establish a self-print plan to cover the gap in physical print needs as you await print orders. Some products cannot be self-printed, including, but not limited to:

Trade books (found in Amplify)
Manipulative kits (Eureka Math)
Amplify Elementary Reading K-5 Big Books

A strong self-print plan will include the following:

The list of essential products and components by grade level and the unit that will be needed until print orders arrive.
Plan for materials distribution from print location to classroom (delivery method)
Printing instructions for materials (color vs. mono, duplex printing, binding instructions)
Printing source (ESC, in-district, at campus)
Materials Reimbursement contact
Source list for manipulatives, trade books, copyrighted materials, and other non-self-printable components
