Background:
|
The Administration is requesting authorization to extend a contract with Marquette University for therapeutic services. This contractor will be used to deliver therapeutic services for students at the MPS Success Center.
Contractor shall service students who exhibit behaviors that have caused the student to experience limited success with response to interventions, and has been disruptive to their educational process in a traditional school setting. Through structures provided in this program, it is expected students will acquire the necessary skills to be successful in a traditional school setting. Services are developed and provided in a center-based, daily therapeutic and educational environment at the MPS Success Center for students in grades 4 through 12. The anticipated length for full-time services provided for each student shall be a minimum of 9 weeks. Contractor will work with MPS to develop each individual student’s daily schedules based on therapeutic needs.
Continuum of services shall be provided by the Contractor to students upon return to previous (or subsequent) school of record. Such services shall include, but not be limited to, family therapy, collaboration with other community organization services being provided to the student, and on-going follow-up with the student as needed as determined by student’s support plan.
As part of the Contract extension, additional services for early year grade levels will be phased in, beginning with grade 3 in the 2023-2024 school year, grades 1 and 2 beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, and grades K4 and K5 in the 2025-2026 school year.
The waiver is being requested for a four-year term to ensure continuity and cost savings to the district given the implementation timeline and service delivery infrastructure.
The exception from the requirement of a competitive procurement process for this contract has been granted on the basis of continuity and the services under this contract are continuing therapeutic services provided to the district’s students and families. (Administrative Policy 3.09(7)(E)(1)(b)(iv)).
The original contract had a term of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023. The contract extension will run from August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026 and will not exceed $4,583,049.
