Why: According to Board Policy IFA-Instructional Materials and Content, the District must provide access to instructional resources including, but not limited to, textbooks and supplemental materials. Board Policy IFA requires the presentation of recommendations for textbook adoption to the Board of Education.
The DeKalb County School District (DCSD) is seeking to adopt and purchase K-12 mathematics instructional and supplemental resources. Through the curriculum adoption process, DCSD aims to advance the mission, vision, and values by (a) improving access to meaningful content, (b) increasing awareness of sound instructional practices, (c) providing technological assets that promote creativity, connections, and innovation, and (d) engaging students in rigorous activities/assessments. The goal of the adoption is to provide up-to-date, research-based, relevant, and appropriate mathematics instructional resources that effectively support teaching and learning and offer greater access to relevant print and/or digital resources.
Details: In accordance with the formal procurement procedures published by the Georgia Department of Education, the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued March 23, 2023. Electronic notification was sent to 89 vendors from the DCSD vendor list, 1,547 vendors through the State of Georgia Procurement Registry (GPR), and 197 vendors through IonWave, the DCSD solicitation portal. The solicitation was advertised in the Champion Newspaper for two (2) consecutive weeks beginning March 23, 2023. Twenty-one (21) proposals were received on April 11, 2023 for the K-12 Mathematics Resources. The twenty-one (21) proposals were deemed responsive and evaluated on the following criteria: alignment to the “new” Georgia Mathematics Standards, research-evidence based instructional strategies/resources for diverse learners (i.e., English Learners, Exceptional Education, Early Intervention Program, Montessori, International Baccalaureate, STEM, Magnet, and Theme), quality of supporting texts, support for improved literacy practices, complimentary digital resources, data privacy, set-up costs, initial training, and ongoing support.
The contract will include up to four, one-year extension options contingent upon DCSD’s offer to such extension, the successful offeror’s acceptance, and the approval of the DeKalb County Board of Education to extend the contract.
Financial impact: The total contract amount will not exceed $20,000,000.00.
