Camden County board approves NextPath MTSS platform pending legal review

The Camden County Board of Education voted unanimously to approve implementing NextPath Education’s MTSS (multi-tiered system of supports) platform, with the superintendent and staff saying any contract or invoice would first be reviewed by district attorneys.

Superintendent-level staff and curriculum leaders described NextPath as a single platform to gather and display student data from IXL, iReady and MClass, track interventions and supports across school years, and help teachers and administrators analyze and act on student data. "It does a lot of the leg work for analyzing data so that teachers and staff can focus on their action steps," a district presenter said.

The board acted after a presentation asking approval to move forward; the superintendent recommended approval pending legal review. Motion to approve came from board member Ms. O'Neil and was seconded by board member Mr. High. The board vote was recorded as unanimous with no opposed votes.

District staff said a formal contract may not be required immediately and that an invoice could follow approval; any contractual document will be vetted by the district attorney before execution. The presenters did not disclose a contract price or term at the meeting.

The board's action is limited to authorizing staff to proceed with implementation pending legal review; staff did not request immediate signature authority for a specific contract.

A related secondary program presentation followed the vote later in the agenda.
