Brandywine School District – Credit Recovery

Brandywine School District in Delaware is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive credit recovery program serving non-traditional high school students, with proposals due July 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time and an anticipated award notification on July 27, 2026. This is a one-year contract with three optional one-year extensions.

The program must serve up to 65 students at any given time through a rotating enrollment model and include synchronous virtual instruction with staff engagement at least three times weekly, virtual counseling services twice weekly or as needed, in-person instructional support, and extended learning opportunities including summer programming. The target population comprises students who have repeatedly failed grades, face attendance barriers, require original credit acquisition, are at risk of dropping out, or demonstrate persistent attendance concerns.

All instructional staff teaching core academic subjects, including special education, must hold valid Delaware teaching certificates. Vendors must submit resumes of key personnel or job descriptions for unfilled positions. The District reserves the right to request staff changes with 30 days' notice and to terminate services if the graduation success rate falls below 90 percent.

Proposals will be evaluated on experience of vendor and staff (30 points), staffing plan (20 points), student and family services (30 points), and pricing (20 points). Vendors must provide detailed pricing broken down by staff positions, materials and supplies, service contracts, capital expenditures, and profit/indirect costs. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence / $3 million per aggregate and Professional Liability or Errors and Omissions of $1 million per occurrence / $3 million per aggregate. Monthly usage reports and quarterly subcontracting diversity reports are required. Award is contingent upon funding availability. Questions are due June 18, 2026, with responses posted by June 26, 2026.
