Finally, we will send a GDBE elevate CORE subscription or renewal confirmation once the school/trust administrator has approved the CORE request from within its gdbe-elevate.org school account. Once the request has been approved school/trust account administrator, an automated email will be sent confirming school/trust membership and access to school/trust CORE Service Level Agreement secure within the school/trust account.
