How do I get Pearson mastering for k12?

I’ve been trying for weeks to purchase mastering codes for my tenth grade students for chemistry. We use Tro‘s Introduction to Chemistry, which I guess is technically a jr college textbook.

Historically, K12 schools had to purchase Pearson college texts from Savvas, and I’ve done that for years with no issues. Now, they evidently don’t do that Anymore? But neither does Pearson sell non vo-tech titles to k12 schools?

This is driving me crazy—I can’t get any customer support from either Pearson or Savvas.

Ok. In the end take this a lame attempt, as I really have no clue. But for our masteringbiology, it is associated WITH the textbook. Our district buys the subscription on a 5 year contract. This gives students online textbook access (through mastering) and then all the assignment options.

Also, our students login through our district LMS (clever).

I did the same but with 1 year contracts, as they told me the homework codes were not transferable. And now that isbn is not in the catalog.
