Texas City ISD approves Typesy as teaching supplies vendor

Texas City Independent School District approved Typesy, eReflect’s K-12 typing and keyboarding curriculum, as a vendor under RFP 35-05 through May 31, 2027. The move gives campuses flexibility to license the program alongside other teaching materials and services, with adoption decisions left to individual schools.

Why it matters: - Texas City ISD campuses now have a district-approved path to adopt a keyboarding curriculum as classroom use of keyboards continues to grow. - The approval gives schools more flexibility because RFP 35-05 covers teaching materials, office equipment, supplies, and services. - Campuses can decide whether to license Typesy based on local needs instead of waiting for a separate procurement process.

What happened: - Texas City Independent School District approved Typesy under RFP Number 35-05, Teaching/Office Equipment, Supplies, and Services. - The approval runs through May 31, 2027. - Typesy is eReflect’s K-12 typing and keyboarding curriculum. - Individual Texas City ISD campuses can choose whether to adopt the program.

The details: - Typesy is delivered through guided lessons, interactive exercises, and classroom-focused activities. - The curriculum is designed to improve typing speed, accuracy, and keyboard familiarity. - Students can progress at their own pace, which lets one classroom serve a wide range of typing skill levels. - Schools that adopt Typesy can assign lessons, monitor progress, and review performance data through built-in reporting tools. - The program is designed to help students build digital fluency, foundational computer skills, and familiarity with classroom technology through guided practice exercises. - Typesy also offers homeschool and individual account options, but its primary focus is school-based learning and district-wide keyboarding instruction. - Texas City ISD campuses that opt in can use the curriculum for technology instruction, intervention support, or regular classroom practice. - Because the procurement category includes services, campuses can pair the software with implementation support when rolling it out. - Teachers and administrators can learn more at Typesy’s Texas City ISD page.

Between the lines: - The approval suggests districts are treating keyboarding as a formal instructional need, not just a software purchase. - A category that includes supplies and services can make it easier for schools to implement a curriculum without building a separate support plan from scratch. - Marc Slater, CEO of eReflect, said Typesy only helps if schools can easily put it into practice after deciding to use it.

What's next: - Texas City ISD campuses can now evaluate whether to bring Typesy into classrooms during the approval window. - If schools adopt the program, they can begin implementation with district procurement already in place. - The district approval remains valid until May 31, 2027.

The bottom line: - Texas City ISD’s approval gives Typesy a district-level path into classrooms, while leaving adoption decisions and rollout timing to individual campuses.
