TRACK-TAKS Readiness and Core Knowledge Executive Summary

Foss Kits

We have several FOSS kits available for check out here at the service center

How do I check them out? My number one suggestion is to call ahead! We have to pull the kits and inventory them BEFORE they can go out. Once they are inventoried...it is as simple as picking them up, sign the check out sheet, and you are on your way!

How long can I keep them? General rule is 4 to 6 weeks. Deals can be made if a whole department or several teachers are using the same kit during one check out.

Do you REALLY inventory the kits? Yes, we really do. This helps the next teacher in line get the non consumable items so they can have the same opportunity to share with their kids that the previous teacher did.
