Nearly one in every 10 people, or 792 million people worldwide, has a diagnosable mental health condition. Often our friends, co-workers, neighbors and family members are suffering emotionally and don’t recognize the symptoms or won’t ask for help. And sometimes we’re the ones who are suffering and won’t admit it. By talking openly about mental health we can start to break down the stigma surrounding illness and help those who need help to get it.


The BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative provides school districts with an opportunity to save time and money while purchasing the products they use every day. School districts can benefit from BuyBoard, which was developed to comply with state laws requiring government entities to make purchases from an approved list of vendors who have gone through a competitive bidding process. BuyBoard is supported by the Illinois Principals Association, Illinois Association of School Administrators, and the Illinois Association of School Boards.
