ISS makes it possible for our school to receive quality curriculum resources. They are extremely timely in being a liaison between the school and publisher companies. ISS is friendly, easy to work with, gives itemized shipment statements, and makes a difficult process become more than manageable. I don't know what our school would do with out them!
