RFP 24-589 English Learners Program Evaluation & Master Planning

The DeKalb County School District in Georgia is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide professional services for an English Learners Program Evaluation and Master Planning project. The scope of work includes conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the district's English as a Second Language (ESOL) program, developing a corrective action plan and master plan, and monitoring progress. The project is expected to commence in September 2024, with the first two phases to be substantially complete by December 2024. Proposals are due by June 25, 2024, and an optional pre-proposal conference will be held on June 4, 2024. The RFP outlines detailed requirements for the technical proposal, including firm overview, scope of services, relevant experience, and references. Pricing must be submitted on the provided cost proposal form, and the district reserves the right to make multiple awards.

The district has a specific budget for the project and identifies the top 15 primary languages spoken by English Learner students. The project will include approximately 30-40 classroom observations as part of Phase 1, but there is no expectation to interview students. The RFP does not specify a page limit for the technical proposals, and the district will provide de-identified student assessment data to the successful offeror upon Board approval. The contract term is not specified in the RFP, and the award will be made to the successful offeror, subject to approval by the DeKalb County Board of Education.
