Quote 1	“ Part of the challenge for us—and the district helps with that—is that they have to go through that vetting process to become an approved vendor, so that somebody has checked out to make sure they’re a legitimate thing (…). So when we get that list every year, it’s like I know I can choose off of that, and everybody’s been checked out, their program. They have done their research to make sure that other schools who have used that, what’s the benefit from that? Would you go back and use them again and why? That’s very helpful. For me, it saves a lot of time in that I don’t have to interview every one of those people and get all the paperwork done.”   -#12 Principal (F)
Quote 2	“Like an action-based learning lab is just an initiative that the health fitness director chose to do, and so people who are interested can go to training. The district will pay for that training, like I didn’t have to pay for that.”   -#12 Principal (F)
Quote 3	“I mean, we have a health-fitness department. They should be the ones who say, ‘Okay, these—give us—fine, these are great programs for you to use.’ And then put us in contact with other people who have used it, and then we can see what they've liked, what they haven’t liked, what has worked, what hasn't worked.”   -#9 Teacher (F)
Quote 4	“…some information from other principals that have utilized them [programs] to find out how their experience has been. What they have seen as a benefit. What they felt were maybe areas to improve upon so that we could make a really informed decision. Input from students that are currently in the program. If my colleagues at [school name redacted] have this great program, I want to know why it’s great. What do you like about it? Is it just because it’s convenient for teachers or is it because the kids think it’s awesome? If the kids think it’s awesome then that’s where I’m going to start.”   -#10 Principal (F)
