District purchasing evidence is still missing here.

No final core-adoption contract or payment record for this state has been integrated. State approval lists in the other tabs remain eligibility evidence.

Public records needed to identify winners

District board selection and vote; executed contract and amendments; itemized purchase orders; invoices, payments and credits; product, grade and school allocation. A records-request policy identifies how to obtain documents, but does not prove spending.
