The public entry route

Interest comes before confirmed onboarding.

TEA names PDQ Connect Premium for this offering and directs interested schools to their ESC for the survey. Submitting the survey does not commit the school system to purchase or deployment. It does not guarantee immediate deployment.

I have not submitted the interest survey

TEA public process

  1. Obtain the current survey link.

    Ask your regional ESC for the program’s pre-registration interest survey.

  2. Complete the interest step.

    Follow the survey’s instructions. A submission expresses interest; it does not establish a license allocation or a start date.

Your next action

Request the survey through Region 10’s initiative help route.

Ask Region 10 for the interest survey

I submitted the survey and need to know what follows

Region 10 guidance

  1. Check the program response you already have.

    Review any actual follow-up for participation, timing, and the next requested action. Survey submission alone does not confirm those details.

  2. Clarify what remains unknown.

    If the next action is unclear, ask Region 10 to help identify the appropriate program contact. No response time or deployment date is established by this guide.

Your next action

Ask for clarification of your next program step.

Program boundary: TEA deployment FAQ, page 1, describes allocation groups and funding-dependent availability. The follow-up sequence above is local guidance.

I received program instructions and am preparing for setup

Region 10 guidance

  1. Confirm what the instructions authorize.

    Have your school system’s authorized administrator confirm the product, participation arrangements, scope, and timing in the actual program response.

  2. Review compatibility and access.

    Check the vendor’s current system requirements and local change approvals before rollout. Decide who should administer the service.

  3. Use the confirmed onboarding channel.

    Follow the program or provider instructions supplied to your school system. Ask for clarification before acting on an unclear invitation or setup request.

Your next action

Review the confirmed instructions with your authorized administrator before setup.

Check readiness for setup

Access boundary: TEA deployment FAQ, page 2, makes ESC or other provider access dependent on the school system’s request and permission. Preparation steps above are local recommendations.

TEA public program terms

Existing PDQ Connect customers, including all tiers

TEA’s deployment FAQ says existing Connect customers must opt in through the pre-registration interest survey for future program-funded renewals. Customers on lower Connect tiers will be upgraded to Premium upon renewal.

Existing PDQ Deploy & Inventory customers

TEA’s FAQ says existing Deploy & Inventory users are eligible to sign up and receive PDQ Connect immediately. Deploy & Inventory itself is a separate product and is not covered by this offering. Schools may continue using it alongside Connect through their own traditional purchase arrangements.

Public reference for both customer paths: TEA deployment FAQ, page 2. “Immediately” describes TEA’s published existing-customer term. This guide does not verify a school system’s sign-up, allocation, renewal funding, or setup date.

Region 10 guidance

  1. Identify your current product and request.

    Distinguish Connect renewal and tier-upgrade questions from the Connect sign-up route for existing Deploy & Inventory users.

  2. Confirm the applicable program response.

    Clarify participation, coverage, and timing through your confirmed program contact before cancelling, renewing, or replacing a subscription.

Your next action

Ask Region 10 to clarify the applicable existing-customer route for your current product.

Ask about existing PDQ licensing

After setup

Use the established support route.

Region 10 guidance: use the provider instructions for support once the service is in use. Clarify coverage and permissions before expanding a deployment.
