This procurement by the Lakewood Board of Education seeks professional‑development training for teachers of “at‑risk” children in private schools and parental‑involvement services for Title I non‑public school students. The RFP was fully funded with federal Title I, IIA and III monies and required paper and digital submissions by noon on June 18, 2019. After evaluating 13 solicited firms, three vendors were recommended—Tree of Knowledge, Tender Touch Educational Services, and Catapult Learning LLC—each receiving a separate contract for the 2019‑2020 school year. The base contract term runs July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, with the possibility of two one‑year extensions or a single two‑year extension. Payments are invoiced by the 15th of the following month and paid within 30‑60 days. Key points include:
• Federal‑funded professional‑development and parent‑engagement services for non‑public school students.
• Multiple‑award competition (3 awardees) with a total estimated spend of roughly $4.6 million.
• Strict submission requirements (original signatures, paper copies plus digital media) and no electronic submission option.
• Optional renewal periods give the district flexibility to extend services beyond the base year.
