Is the District interested in STEAM-based enrichment programs (e.g., Chess, LEGO® Engineering, etc.) as part of the services outlined in this RFP? Does the District prefer a menu of enrichment program options, or a proposal focused on a single enrichment offering? What would the District’s ideal schedule and program structure look like for enrichment or instructional services (e.g., days, times, duration)? Is alignment to Common Core State Standards sufficient for instructional programming, or are there additional frameworks or district-specific standards vendors should align to? Does the District anticipate utilizing push-in instructional support or tutoring during the school day, and if so, what are the preferred schedules and structure for these services? Are there specific certification or credential requirements for individuals providing school-day push-in or tutoring services, and if so, what are they?
