BD2625: Elementary Summer Academy

The Denver Public Schools (DPS) is seeking proposals from suppliers to provide summer academy programming for rising 1st through 5th graders. The program should operate full-day programming with academic and enrichment components, and should be proven to address summer learning loss through strong curricular resources. The vendor will work in partnership with DPS to provide both breakfast and lunch for all students, as well as transportation. The vendor should deliver both the academic and enrichment components, and should include the cost of daily transportation in their bid. The program is expected to launch in summer 2026, and the identified vendor will need to ensure that programming is ready to be launched for students by June. • The program should serve approximately 650 students across 5-7 DPS elementary schools. • The vendor should recruit and hire DPS educators, paraeducators, and other district staff for summer positions. • The vendor should provide a detailed implementation plan to meet the District's deadline of June 2026. • The vendor should include the cost of daily transportation in their bid. • The vendor should have access to school facilities, but not to school materials.
