“Committed to Learning” integrates Office Depot’s
education-focused contract division with a wealth of best-in-class
partners across the instructional ecosystem of people, classrooms,
content, data and materials. By listening to the unique needs of
individual superintendents, the company creates solutions that
directly address their student bodies.
“’Committed to Learning’ is more than a slogan for Office Depot;
it’s a pledge that we bring to life every day,” said Steve Calkins,
executive vice president, business solutions division for Office
Depot, Inc. “Together with our partners, we are listening,
learning, and enabling student success in school districts across
the country.”
The “Committed to Learning” philosophy is perhaps best
exemplified by Office Depot’s trusted network of Learning
Consultants. These professionals, many of which are former
educators, bring their experience to bear in collaborating with
superintendents and curriculum developers. The group operates with
a student-centric mindset that maximizes district budgets while
delivering solutions and education-sector expertise to meet the
changing needs of students today.
One example of Office Depot’s ongoing relationship with school
districts can be seen in Connecticut’s Wallingford School
District.
“I have to confess that I was very surprised by Office Depot’s
deep engagement with the education community,” said Dr. Salvatore
F. Menzo, superintendent of schools at Wallingford. “We’ve
benefited greatly from the holistic view they take of our
requirements and resources, and we value the real-world experience
their network of education solutions experts bring to our
classrooms.”
