    MEMORANDUM
     
    TO:
    District School Superintendents
     
    FROM:
    Cheri Pierson Yecke
     
    DATE:
    February 28, 2005
     
    SUBJECT:
    Reporting Planned Purchases of Instructional Materials as Required by Chapter
    1006.28, Florida Statutes
     
    In an effort to increase student achievement and make sure all students are provided with quality
    instructional materials, Florida statutes require school district superintendents to report annually
    their district’s planned purchases of instructional materials. This report is due to the Florida
    Department of Education April 1, 2006, via http://fimweb.org.
     
    As you know, Florida school districts have once again experienced some backorders of state
    adopted materials this year. Our continued hope is that with all entities working together,
    schools will receive all ordered materials timely and prior to the opening of school in August.
    Your district’s responsibility to help alleviate backorders is to report on FIMWeb by the April 1,
    2006, deadline and to present planned purchases accurately so that publishers can forecast and
    print sufficient quantities.

    Please review the enclosed record of FIMWeb reporting contacts. The name of the individual
    listed for your district was given to us
    last
    year. If you would like to change your district
    contact, please notify charlie.carraway@fldoe.org and a new password will be assigned. This
    district staff member will report your district’s planned purchases of instructional materials for
    the upcoming year. Please note in the reporting contacts’ list that several districts never reported
    last year, which led, in part, to inaccurate forecasting and subsequent backorders.
     
    Please contact Charlie Carraway by phone at (850) 245-0425 or via email at
    charlie.carraway@fldoe.org if you wish to change your district contact information or need
    additional assistance with reporting procedures.
