Agenda Item
b. Division of Student Services-Instructional Resources (Not to exceed $4,000,000)
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Norman C. Sauce III, Chief of Student Services, Division of Student Services
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the purchase of supplemental instructional resources for the Division of Student Services in an amount not to exceed $­­4,000,000.
Why: The selected vendors have been carefully vetted and identified to
improve access to meaningful content,
increase awareness of sound instructional practices,
provide technological assets that promote creativity, connections, and innovation, and
engage students in rigorous activities and appropriate assessments.
These research-based supplemental instructional resources provide full access to the DCSD’s rigorous curriculum to the school district’s diverse population.
DeKalb County School District adheres Title III (Federal) funding allocation to provide supplemental services to improve the English language proficiency and academic achievement of English Learners.
IDEA funds are allocated to purchase instructional materials for students with disabilities to ensure that these students receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) tailored to address their unique needs. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that schools provide specialized support and resources necessary for students with disabilities to access the general education curriculum and achieve academic success.
In compliance with the Georgia Department of Education SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38 Education Programs for Gifted Students Evaluation and Eligibility, the use of these state approved assessments in DeKalb County School District’s gifted identification process will increase the number of students considered for gifted services thus closing the gap of the underrepresentation of minority, special education, EL, and/or low socio-economic groups for placement in state funded programs.
Details: The DeKalb County School District will purchase supplemental instructional resources to support the academic success of students served through the Division of Student Services in accordance to Board Policy DJE (III.D.3.g).
Financial impact: The total financial impact for SY2024-2025 is not to exceed the amount of $4,000,000.
The purchase amount will be paid using Title III grant, IDEA federal funding, and general funds.
