The petition describes a stable 6–8 middle school program with 318 students in 2025‑26, heavy use of standards‑aligned curriculum (Savvas myPerspectives, Amplify/Desmos Math, Amplify Science, TCI History), MTSS/RtI², technology‑integrated instruction, ELD, special education services as an LEA member of the El Dorado Charter SELPA, after‑school tutoring, summer school, and expanded extended‑learning and SEL supports. , IXL, Lexia, MAP/Illuminate), MTSS/SEL tools, special education related services, technology devices, and after‑school/summer programming across 2027‑2032.No specific vendors are being competed in this document, so there is room for new offerings in areas like adaptive intervention, data systems, tutoring/extended‑learning services, SPED therapies, and professional development that align to the described instructional model and operational sustainability push.

DCA emphasizes MTSS/RTI, technology‑enabled instruction, extended learning (after school, summer), SEL, and special education/504 supports—each implying ongoing and potential new service and software needs over the 2027‑2032 term.
