Summary

Following an evaluation committee scoring, the board approved a pool of vendors (Tender Touch, Catapult, Tree of Knowledge, Encore Support, Creative Coaching) for nonpublic professional development and parental-involvement services; final contracts depend on nonpublic school selections and Title allocations.

The board reviewed bids for CC 02-2627 (Nonpublic Professional Development and Parental Involvement Services) and accepted a group of vendors whose evaluation scores exceeded the 75-point threshold. The motion awarded Tender Touch and Catapult (each with 99.11 points), Tree of Knowledge (97.60), Encore Support (97.29), and Creative Coaching (80.7), while noting that inclusion in the pool does not guarantee a contract — individual contract issuance depends on allocations and selections by nonpublic schools.

The evaluation summary presented technical and management scores from three scorers and a calculated average. Board materials emphasize that any contracts will be funded through Title allocations (Title I, II, III and IV) for participating nonpublic schools.

Board members approved the procurement action by recorded motion; no dissenting comments are recorded in the public minutes. The action creates a pre-approved pool that district administrators may call upon when nonpublic schools request services and funds are available.
