From the meeting
The district placed large orders for art and makerspace materials from Blick Art Materials, Nasco Education, and 3D Universe, including Bambu PLA filament, resin kits, canvas boards, and assorted art supplies. This is a live replenishment signal for classroom fabrication and art programs. The buying decision is already made, so the main follow-on is recurring supply and program expansion.
