UCPS committee forwards sole-source contract for Riverside Insights CogAT screener to full board
Summary
The curriculum committee voted unanimously to refer a sole-source renewal with Riverside Insights for the CogAT universal screener (used in grades 3 and 6 for AIG identification) to the full board for approval.
The Union County Public Schools Curriculum Committee voted to send a sole-source contract renewal with Riverside Insights — the district’s provider of the CogAT universal screener — to the full board for approval.
Dr. Charlotte Hancock, UCPS director of college readiness, described the screening tool and its use: “So the CogAT is a universal screener that we utilize for third and sixth graders. It is 1 data point for identification criteria for AIG. It is also useful data.” Committee members noted the screener is the same program already in use; the transcript records one committee member asking whether the fee is annual and staff confirming that it is.
Committee members moved and seconded the referral and recorded a 4-0 voice vote to send the sole-source request to the full board. No mover or seconder was named in the committee record.
The referral will place the vendor contract renewal on the next full-board agenda for a final vote. The committee packet memo was referenced for further technical and fiscal details.
