Rutherford County Schools staff told the board Sept. 9 they will renew a contract with the Institute for Multisensory Education to provide Orton‑Gillingham and morphology training for educators for the 2025–26 school year.
The program will offer two cohorts — planned in October and November — of a five‑day, hands‑on structured literacy course intended to equip classroom teachers, ESL teachers, special education teachers and academic interventionists with strategies to teach foundational literacy across tiers. Staff presented the cost as “not to exceed $89,112.50” and said the funds will come from Title II.
Board members asked if there were questions or comments; no substantive objections were recorded in the work session transcript. Staff described the training as an annual renewal and part of ongoing professional development efforts.
No formal procurement action or vote was recorded in the transcript during the work session.
The board will consider the contract and funding source as part of its upcoming consent or business agenda on Thursday.
