Board committee moves $34,160 MAP Growth contract to full board after brief tech question
Summary
The business operations committee approved forwarding a $34,160 contract for the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) benchmark testing service to the full board; district staff said a separate state testing-site glitch earlier in the year was unrelated to this contract.
The committee approved forwarding a $34,160 purchase contract for the MAP Growth benchmark testing service to the full Board of Education.
Doctor Garrison explained the contract covers the district’s MAP assessment for ELA and math and described it as a “rinse and repeat” annual contract. He told the committee the contract was a standard renewal and that it had been missed in the initial package of 2025–26 contracts brought earlier.
Board member Amy Levy asked whether a software delay experienced earlier this year — a one-to-two-day glitch on the state testing platform (DRC) — was related to the MAP contract; the district’s testing staff said the MAP contract was unrelated and that recent hiccups were tied to laptop updates and coordination between the district, the state vendor and the DRC platform.
Action: The committee voted to move the attached purchase contract at $34,160 for the 2025–26 school year to the full board for approval.
