Summary:
|
The District wishes to enter into a 3-year Software Agreement with Edmentum for credit recovery, Career Technical Education, and Interventions.
Edmentum (Plato Courseware) is a standards-based online learning program grounded in a tradition of solid research, sound pedagogy, and applied innovation. They develop rigorous, relevant curriculum that challenges students with a 21st Century approach. The courses that will be offered will be from the approved list of A-G courses from the UC/CSU system. In addition, we will have the opportunity to offer Career Technical Education (CTE) courses that we do not have either enough students registered or a qualified teacher available. This program also gives the opportunity to access struggling students and to create a program that meets their individual needs. Whether students are falling behind, at grade level, or advanced, Edmentum (PLATO) can accommodate their unique needs in an environment in which they will thrive. Edmentum (Plato Courseware) can be used in a lab setting, a blended model in which online courses supplement the traditional classroom, or through a completely virtual experience. Edmentum will become the backbone of our credit recovery program, in order for us to give our students the ability to not only graduate from high school but to be A-G eligible.
The District is recommending the approval of the Edmentum contract for the 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2021-22 school years.
The Edmentum contract features Edmentum Solution Bundles, which includes:
1) 1000 credit recovery students
2) Secondary Academic Library
3) CTE Library
4) 600 Adaptive Intervention Solution
The total price will not exceed $122,855 per year for a total of $368,565.
Public Contract Code 20118.3 and Education Code 81651: The governing board of any school district may purchase supplementary textbooks, library books, educational films, audiovisual materials, test materials, workbooks, instructional computer software packages, or periodicals in any amount needed for the operation of the schools of the district without taking estimates or advertising for bids.
