Sorry, I had no problem with Outschool tutoring. My older daughter has had a great math tutor through Outschool since we received the money in August and my younger daughter has taken many classes.

There is a second link on classwallet under shopping that is a store- I think it ended up being Office Depot. It let me order the calculators. It says they are approved, so we’ll see if they show.
You can only order items if your child has a disability.
Nope. My graphing calculator arrived today.
Would it be financially challenging for you to buy one yourself?

Don’t count on them approving it. They rejected one of our PT provider’s bill for an item used for physical therapy.

Does your child have an IEP? Mine do not. I was under the impression that only children with documented disabilities can use Office Depot/Staples to buy things other than tutoring.

This time used a tutoring company. They filled out the paperwork and again were approved.
I know it is probably too late but was not sure folks knew since they were saying all tutors were booked.
Only if your tutor is willing to do it. Ours was not.
Oh that is unfortunate. I am sorry. I do wish the system worked more as a reimbursement program vs paying them directly but I guess less room for fraud that way.
