Prequalification of academic programs
The prequalification selection (PQS) process creates a pool of qualified service providers to deliver high-quality programs, including professional development, academic interventions, student support, and after-school and summer programming. Schools can select an approved service provider with the confidence and knowledge that they are investing in a high-quality, research-based program with demonstrated success.
Unlike the district's traditional solicitation process, which limits approved providers to awards for a three-year period, PQS allows for ongoing qualification of new service providers. Respondents to solicitations must use this template to submit cost proposals.
There are currently no open PQS solicitations. New solicitations will be posted here as they are developed.
