d. Division of Student Services ~ Assessment Licenses and Materials (Not to exceed $1,100,000) ~ Updated 8.7.2025
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 this board agenda item between the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) and Scholastic Testing Services, Pearson, and Riverside Insights regarding the educational use of assessment licenses and materials utilized in the district’s gifted identification process in a total amount not to exceed $1,100,000.
Scholastic Testing Services: $345,063.60
Pearson: $158,400
Riverside Insights: $314,688
Why: 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 assessment licenses and materials to support the academic success of students served through the Division of Student Services in accordance to Board Policy DJE (III.D.3.g).
