Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected May 1, 2026

Amethod Public Schools is considering a continued partnership with Lead Liberated for school year 2026-27 to deepen antiracist leadership development for its CEO, leadership team, principals, deans, and instructional coaches. The May 2026 proposal outlines customized professional learning, an Antiracist Leadership Institute, bi-monthly PD sessions, CEO meeting observations, and extensive 1:1 leadership coaching and school walkthroughs to strengthen teacher development, retention, and student learning. The proposal estimates a total SY26-27 cost of 165600 for professional learning and leadership coaching, with scope and goals to be finalized with CEO Adrienne Barnes.This is a clear signal that the district is investing in network-wide leadership development and equity work, but the proposal language indicates costs and details are still to be discussed and finalized. Vendors in leadership PD, DEI/equity consulting, coaching, and related analytics or curriculum supports could position complementary or alternative offerings, particularly around instructional leadership, climate, and retention strategies aligned to antiracist goals.

Proposal assumes PD will occur on Amethod campuses and that the district will provide food for participants; costs are estimates pending finalization of partnership details.
