a. RFP 19-513 Amendment - Naviance for Elementary for a one-year subscription (not to exceed $98,658.81)
Summary: Dr. Kishia K. Towns, Deputy Superintendent of Student Support and Intervention, Division of Equity and Student Empowerment
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the amendment to RFP 19-513 to include Naviance for Elementary for a one-year subscription in an amount not to exceed $98,658.81.
Why: Naviance for Elementary introduces young students to future educational and career opportunities to help instill curiosity and confidence for lifelong learning. Naviance is a sole source vendor that will allow all elementary, middle, and high schools to function using one cohesive platform.
Details: The Division of Equity and Student Empowerment is requesting Naviance for Elementary be approved and added to the existing Naviance platform, RFP 19-513.
Naviance for Elementary is designed to build confidence in young learners as they explore options for future success with engaging, age-appropriate content. With the addition of Naviance for Elementary, a school’s youngest students can now also enjoy tools and activities that help them explore options for future success. The age-appropriate interface is engaging and designed to foster curiosity.
A growing body of research demonstrates the importance of providing career-connected learning experiences for younger learners to develop a positive self-concept of their occupational prospects. Students who have more time to think about and prepare for their futures are better equipped to adopt new skills and invest in their own lifelong learning.
Financial impact: The total budget of $98,658.81 for the Naviance for Elementary platform will be allocated from Purchased Professional and Technical Services: 100.1000.561200.63711.7370.1041.8013.090.0000.
