District previews $31,475 Panorama renewal for social-emotional screening; approval deferred
Summary
Staff presented a proposed three-year, sole-source renewal with Panorama (social-emotional screener) at $31,475 and said the district will use Title I and Title IV funds; board requested contract paperwork in the packet and deferred approval to a future meeting.
District staff presented a proposal to renew the contract with Panorama, the district’s social‑emotional universal screener and MTSS support tool. The renewal discussed is a sole‑source, three‑year extension that staff said would begin in late May and run to Aug. 1, 2028; the figure discussed in the meeting was $31,475 and staff said the purchase would be paid from Title I and Title IV funds allocated for social‑emotional supports.
Staff said the contract includes an AI-derived support feature (named in the presentation as Solaris, a proprietary tool) to help generate intervention plans based on screening results; because that component is proprietary, staff listed Panorama as a sole‑source vendor. The presenter asked the board to review the contract when it is added to the packet and indicated formal approval was not required that night; the board asked that the item be added to the work-session materials for further consideration.
Next steps: Staff will circulate contract documentation in advance of the approval vote and return the item for formal action at the board’s next appropriate meeting or work session.
