Independent School Districts (ISDs) – after‑school & in‑school extensions
Private & Monastery Schools – lab integrations with PD
Youth Agriculture Clubs (e.g., 4‑H/FFA) – member concession for qualifying purchases
Partnership Pricing Policy
Simple, Auditable, Transparent
Schools (ISDs, monastery, private): Cost + 10%
Active Youth Agriculture Clubs: One‑third off markup on list pricing for qualifying line items (proof of current membership required).
What counts as cost? Materials, direct labor, freight‑in, and (when applicable) on‑site install labor.
What’s “markup”? The standard commercial markup used to calculate list price for general market sales. Your education discount reduces that markup by one‑third.
Product & course references come from the canonical catalog (e.g., A.C.E. \$299–\$499 per course; lab kits as below).
Typical kit references used in proposals: GrowBench 10 classroom hydro bench and Oasis EDU with sensors/cloud.
