State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP)

The Arizona Department of Education Master Agreement CTR078862 establishes an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on educational and training services, specifically targeting vocational training, alternative educational systems, and specialized educational services. This master agreement enables procurement of comprehensive educational support resources, with a primary emphasis on improving English Language Arts (ELA) achievement for students with disabilities, particularly in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms. The contract encompasses a range of services including professional development, training support, and strategic planning assistance for district and charter school teams.

The master agreement is awarded to American Leadership Academy, with a performance period from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, and potential renewal through fiscal year 2028. The contract is structured as an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with a total budget of $5,000, funded through IDEA federal funds. Geographically limited to Arizona, the IDV allows for reimbursement of expenses such as substitute teacher costs, off-contract pay, training fees, supplies, and potential travel stipends. The agreement requires the contractor to submit comprehensive documentation, including a Success Gaps Rubric, progress reports, literacy screener documentation, and participation in Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) walkthroughs.
