Three starting points most districts begin with. Every quote is custom; these just give a sense of scale.

For an entire ELL grade-level cohort or a small school deployment.
For full-school or district-wide ELL programs. Volume pricing.
Telo is supplemental speaking practice for English Learners, so it fits Title III, and Title I can fund it in schoolwide programs. Title IV-A and state English Learner funds can fill the gaps.

Yes. Most of our district customers go with 2 or 3-year terms for budget predictability and discounted pricing. We can also bill annually within a multi-year commitment.
Net 30 is standard for qualified institutions. Net 60 is available on request for districts with established procurement cycles.
Yes, within each grant’s rules. Telo is supplemental speaking practice for English Learners, which fits Title III. Title I can fund it in schoolwide programs, or for the English Learners selected for Title I services in targeted assistance schools. Title IV-A can contribute within its 15% cap on devices and software, or be transferred into Title I or Title III. We provide a funding-source justification letter on request, mapped to whichever grant you’re using. Details in our guide: How to fund Telo.
Yes. Title IV-A (the “Effective Use of Technology” block) explicitly supports digital and AI literacy curricula and is the most common path. Title II-A funds AI-related teacher professional development. Many states also have digital-learning grants that cover AI literacy programs. Telo qualifies because every session students have with the robot or web platform is hands-on AI literacy: they learn to prompt clearly, evaluate AI answers, and recognize what AI can and can’t do.
Yes, three paths. (1) Cooperatives: we’re an awarded TIPS (The Interlocal Purchasing System) vendor, so any of the 7,000+ TIPS member districts and schools nationwide can purchase without a separate RFP. We’re also approved through Region 19 Allied States Cooperative (839 districts), Region 7 ESC (95 districts), and Region 18 ESC (33 districts and 7 charter schools). (2) Piggyback: many states allow districts to piggyback on contracts already executed by another district. We have active contracts with 29 ISDs (Coppell, Plano, Frisco, Aldine, Lewisville, Pearland and others) that can serve as the originating contract. (3) Direct: sole-source procurement is also available with our justification letter.
Telo AI is the sole-source provider of the TelOne Embodied AI Robot and the integrated Teacher Dashboard Suite. We provide a formal sole-source justification letter on request, ready to attach to your PO.
No minimum. Districts often start with a single-classroom pilot before scaling. We work the same way for a 1-classroom order as for a 100-classroom rollout.
Web licenses are activated within 1 business day of PO acceptance. Embodied robots typically ship within 2 to 3 weeks. Teacher onboarding is scheduled the same week the order is placed.
