Board approves Title I tutoring contract for elementary and middle schools
Summary
Duncanville ISD approved a new Tutor by Teachers online tutoring contract (listed at $144,980) using Title I operating funds to expand virtual one-on-one and small-group intervention across all elementary schools and one middle school; administrators described pre/post testing and weekly monitoring.
Tellauance Graham presented the procurement item requiring board approval because the vendor purchase exceeded $50,000. The item listed "Tutor by Teachers" online tutoring for all elementary schools and one middle school at a total listed cost of $144,980, to be paid from Title I operating funds.
Dr. Sam Nix and Ms. Rosa Hernandez explained the program model: "Tutor by Teachers is a virtual program, and so they work with students one-on-one or in groups of about five, where there is an actual personal tutor virtually set for a group of students..." Administrators said participating cohorts will typically receive three 30-minute sessions per week, campuses will identify up to about 100 students each for the service, and progress will be measured with pre- and post-tests and MAP benchmarks. Trustee Savage-Martin moved approval and Trustee Fahey seconded; the motion passed 7-0.
