Pine Tree ISD adds Typesy to curriculum vendor list

Pine Tree Independent School District approved Typesy for its curriculum and instruction vendor list under RFP 2024-02, making the K-12 keyboarding platform available through Sept. 30, 2027. The move gives campuses a district-vetted option to fold typing instruction into classroom learning and digital fluency work.

Why it matters: - Pine Tree ISD is treating keyboarding as an instructional need, not just a technology tool. - The approval gives campuses a district-vetted platform they can use to support typing, digital fluency and classroom technology skills. - The vendor placement under curriculum and instruction can make it easier for teachers to build keyboarding practice into everyday lessons.
