Web-Based Special Education Software

The Newark Board of Education seeks a cloud‑based, web‑accessible special‑education platform that enables teachers, CST members, and related‑service staff to create, manage, and report on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) while integrating with existing district systems (PowerSchool, Transfinder, PeopleSoft, Snowflake). The solution must support multilingual IEP and parental notices, Medicaid reporting, transportation verification, and provide robust security (Azure AD SSO, MFA, audit logs). Vendors must demonstrate at least three years of experience delivering similar IEP‑focused web applications to large urban districts, hold New Jersey business registration, and supply a ten‑user demo for 30 days. The contract is a 2‑year base term with an optional 2‑year renewal, fixed pricing, and extensive compliance, insurance, and data‑privacy requirements. • Provide a fully functional, scalable (≥ 2,000 concurrent users) SaaS platform with student profiles, community‑of‑practice tools, and professional‑development resources. • Integrate seamlessly with PowerSchool, Transfinder, PeopleSoft, and Snowflake via APIs/SFTP; generate all state/federal mandated reports (NJSMART, ASSA, etc.) automatically. • Deliver 5‑day/week support (online & phone), disaster‑recovery/BC plans, and ensure data residency within the United States; all pricing must remain unchanged for the contract term.
