How many Original Credit Students do you plan on serving per school year and what is the total number of Semester courses you expect to be used for the year?

Approximately 200 to 400 students will have need or Original Credits, if on-line learning centers are developed on each campus could be 500 to 750 students

Are you planning on using your own teachers for all courses or do you want information provided for optional instruction?

we would like to use district teachers

How many students will need this Credit Recovery solution? Can you provide an average number of students per semester and summer that need credit recovery?

A little over 1,000 students make use of a credit recovery program at any given time, except summer where the number starts over 1,300 but diminishes over time. Last academic year, the total number of students enrolled were 3,297.

1,649 students took credit recovery per semester last year which included summer school.

Are there other groups of students who may use this solution for credit accrual? If so, how many students?

No, at this time, no students have credit advancement, the need could be about 210 at any given time.

Will any of these students be enrolled in more than 4 courses at a time?

At this time, students complete one course before starting another.

We offer different course bundles to meet different needs. Can you break down how many of your students will need only Core courses? Electives/CTE courses? Advanced Placement (AP) or Honors courses?

At this time, most of our credit recovery program is core subjects, only 4 elective courses are available and no AP or honors courses are available.

REVISED ANSWER:

Advanced Placement: 50

Honors: 14

Foundations: 96

Literacy Advantage: 266

Prescriptive: 2,268

 

Are your students 1:1 with student devices?

Only at one school site, the others use labs.

We have 500 students on 1:1 devices, however, the rest of our student population uses computer laptop carts and labs.

Does every student have access to a device and required access 24/7/365, or is your program a lab rotation model?

Not every student has access to a device, at this time MOST of the course is available to do at home, few take advantage, but teachers prefer proctored requirements.

We would like to use both 24/7 access.

Would you prefer us to quote a per-seat license model or a concurrent license model, or a combination of the two models? If a combination, please specify how many of each.

We currently have one solution with each model, the per-seat license is used more heavily and seems more cost effective. At this point, a combination could be used to cover overages during heavy use times so 1,000 seats plus 300 concurrent licenses could cover the programs as used presently. We prefer the concurrent license model.

How many total copies of the proposal should we provide?

Please provide 1 original and 4 copies for a total of 5.
