Strategic Partners
The Small School Districts' Association will add strategic partners from time to time as approved by the SSDA Executive Committee. The SSDA strategic partners agree to provide special services and discounts to SSDA members to help them save time and money. In addition, these partners help to gain access to a product or service that may otherwise be out of reach to a small school district due to pricing limitations. Our SSDA Strategic Partners contribute to the stability and growth of the SSDA organization and its membership. We thank them for their contributions. We also encourage our members to take advantage of their services. Start by clicking on the Strategic Partners Service Links of interest below.
