Districts save money with Instructional Services
• The Regional Education Media Centers Association of Michigan (REMCAM) negotiated a per building price of
$605 for Discovery Streaming for the 2011-2012 school year. This is a significant reduction from the list price of
$2,195 per secondary building and $1,670 per elementary building. During the 2011-2012 school year, Oakland
Schools (REMC 17) once again subsidized the use of Discovery Streaming, saving Oakland County public schools
a total of $125,840. Through the statewide pricing and the ISD subsidy, Oakland County schools saved $424,800.
• During the 2011-12 school year, Oakland County teachers logged into their streaming video accounts 77,772 times
