Attachment_B_-_Tentative_Schedule_of_Events_-_Revised_03.30.26.pdf

This is a tentative schedule of events for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the School Board of Seminole County, Florida, the state's 13th largest school district serving over 59,000 students. The RFI solicits information from qualified vendors to provide a Comprehensive Student Support and Assessment Delivery, Management, and Analytics System capable of supporting student-level through district-level analysis across 37 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, nine high schools, and six special centers. The system must deliver integrated capabilities including early warning indicators, multilingual attendance tracking, discipline reporting, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and Response to Intervention (RtI) functionality, assessment authoring with Florida BEST Standards alignment, paper-based and online assessment delivery with lockdown browser compatibility, and comprehensive reporting and analytics across multiple assessment types including FAST, EOCs, WIDA Access, iReady, and national assessments. Critical deadlines include the RFI posting on March 16, 2026, a question deadline of March 25, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, proposal submissions due April 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST, and target system demonstrations scheduled for April 20-21 and April 22-23, 2026, with addenda released as necessary on March 27, 2026.

The technology infrastructure must support single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, data encryption, and daily integration with existing Student Information Systems such as Skyward, while accommodating approximately 35,000 concurrent test takers across 38 assessments without performance degradation. Vendors must demonstrate active registration with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations, Florida implementation experience, cyber liability insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 annual aggregate, and compliance with Florida background screening requirements. This RFI represents preliminary market research intended to inform future procurement decisions and establish benchmarks for potential direct negotiations with selected vendors; no incumbent vendor is specified, award date is not established, and the district intends to review responses through a stakeholder committee before making recommendations regarding continuation with the current 2011-era solution or direction for future negotiations with qualified vendors.
