Literacy Early Intervention Software Process
2023-2024
The early intervention software program selections were presented to the board on October 17, 2023. An email communication will be sent to the public that will contain a link to all of the software programs that were selected by the RFP committee. Public comment will be received by the board in November. After public comment and pending final board approval, the district will be able to move forward with school requests for licenses.
Schools will be able to choose from four programs including Lexia, Amira by HMH, Boost Reading by Amplify, or Reading Playground from Really Great Reading (which schools already have access to). Funding provided by the state grant for these programs is limited and may only be used for grades K-3. Schools wishing to use the grant money will need to work directly with Michelle Lovell and Mandy Thurman.
Principals will soon be able to request the program choice for the school and the number of licenses that will be needed. Site licenses will not be an option at this time. If schools wish to purchase additional licenses for students in grades 4-6 they may work directly with the companies once final board approval is complete. Please note that schools are NOT OBLIGATED to use a software program. Teacher specialists will be reaching out to principals to offer support in learning about the program options.
