Adobe Creative Cloud Update
 For those that had filled out the interest form for the Adobe Creative Cloud program you should have received a message from Matt Rodgers with Adobe indicating that we have achieved the 5K FTE to move forward with the program. More great news - the price has dropped to $23.50 per FTE!
CDW representatives will be reaching out to each participating school with a Purchase Order Commitment Form. You should expect to submit a PO to CDW based on your FTE count at $23.50 per FTE. Once all POs are received by CDW and submitted to Adobe, they will provide another update as well as the timing for an Adobe Deployment Webinar for IT Administrators.
IMPORTANT - Adobe cannot send license keys until all POs are received by CDW. Please be on the lookout for communication from CDW.
If your school is interested but has not yet completed the below Commitment Form please do so ASAP. If you have questions, please email Matt Rodgers with Adobe (contact info below) or your CDW Account Executive.

Housekeeping
MISBO mailed renewal dues invoices to the primary
contact at each member school in May. If your enrollment numbers have changed, please adjust the invoice to your best estimate for the 14-15 school year and return a copy with your payment. We will adjust our records accordingly.
Also, it is the time of year for personnel changes. We ask each school to notify us of any changes in the business office, HR, Technology or Facilities by filling out the member update form below. As we migrate to our new database, having the
most up-to-date information
will be critical to our success.
