2018-19 Contract - CollegeBoard.pdf
Summary: The College Readiness and Success Program is an initiative to support the involvement of all students in the college-going process at an earlier age while there is still time to inform instruction and learning, and increase students’ readiness for college expectations. Additionally, earlier involvement in the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) will expose students to a wealth of college planning and preparation tools to get and keep them actively involved in the process. The College Board supports this initiative by providing districts with access to additional savings when districts pay to engage at least one entire grade of students in taking the PSAT/NMSQT (‘Participating Grade’). Shifting this financial obligation from the student to the District provides greater access for students to the PSAT/NMSQT and initiates students’ earlier entry on the road to college.

The cost is $8 per exam for 8th grade students and the cost is $12.50 per exam for 10th grade students for a total estimated cost of $34,579. Of this total cost, the estimated cost to the District will be $31,329.50. The estimated cost to California Military Institute (CMI) will be $3,249.50. The cost for CMI students will be billed as a direct cost to CMI per the Memorandum of Understanding between the District and CMI.

The term of this Agreement will be for one year from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The Agreement may be renewed annually upon mutual consent expressed in writing for up to four (4) additional one (1) year terms in accordance with Education Code 17596.

This contract is being brought forward as a ratification due to untimely receipt.

Education Code 17604 and 17605: The Governing Board delegates the power to contract and purchase supplies, equipment and services.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2018-19 operating budget funded through the LCAP Plan (not the General Fund) and the Charter School.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve Contract CB-00022714 with the College Board for the College Readiness and Success Program.
