Outlook
for el-hi market
•Encouraged by early tone of business in adoption states and open territory
–Too
soon to make a call on this year’s performance
•State funding issues should relatively little impact this year on state new adoption market
–Speculation
on cutback applies to 2008-09 budgets
–Open
territory the wild card in this year’s marketplace
•We think el-hi market will grow 4% to 5% in 2008
–Expect state new adoption market to grow 10% to 15% this year
–Expect
growth of 1% to 2% in open territory
