It's been a while since I used it, but ed1stop through the San Mateo School
District offers Brainpop in their package and if I recall it was 50% off.

Kids love BrainPop. But it is expensive.

Hello fellow Bay Area Librarians,
I'm the new librarian at the Keys School in Palo Alto and I and coming in
to some patterns new to me; I'd love to get your perspectives.
Before I got here, I'd never heard of BrainPOP but it seems to be a pretty
common purchase for school districts, considering all the teachers coming
from the local districts have heard of it. Do any of you use it in your
schools? I wonder if there is something more affordable for smaller
institutions.
In my last school, we used Ingram as our preferred vendor but I don't see
any book vendor relationship information in my budget beyond Junior Library
Guild. I've called and found out that I can use JLG to purchase individual
titles but I wonder if folks are using any other vendors that I should
check out.
Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting some folks soon!
Corey
