FSDB requires the curriculum materials for implementation during fiscal year 2026-2027 in accordance with Florida Department of Education guidelines for curriculum adoption at state schools.

Perfection Learning Corporation, located at 2680 Berkshire Parkway, Suite 100, Clive, Iowa 50325, is identified as the intended sole source provider based on their status as the sole source, origin, and copyright owner of the Connections Reading program.
