The Wisconsin-based School Specialty, LLC, has released more than 100 new furniture products underneath two new brands, Classroom Select and Childcraft. These innovative solutions have been added to the cooperatives OMNIA Partners, the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA), and numerous state and regional co-ops around the country. The classroom furniture products are available for purchase through cooperative and contract agreements.

School Specialty’s products are designed for children ages 0-18. Under the Classroom Select line, its new offerings include NeoLink and NeoFuse Soft Seating options; wood and laminate bookshelves, lockers, and tote storage from the Expanse Series; and the Community line’s bench and table products. From the Childcraft brand, new additions include the ABC Furnishings Breathe with Me carpet squares, a portable hand-washing sink, and the STEM Collaboration Table.

According to Patricia Brooke-Fruendt of the Manhattan-Ogden Unified School District in Manhattan, Kan., “We saw the incredible value of working with a trusted partner like School Specialty as we made decisions on new furnishings. The entire process, including strict contract compliance, was made easy working through AEPA and in partnership with School Specialty. All options were readily at our disposal.”

School Specialty, LLC, designs, produces, and distributes educational equipment like furniture, technology, classroom supplies, faculty supplies, and safety and security solutions, as well as core and supplementary curricula material for science, math, and language arts. Its products are available in the U.S. and Canada.
