District 215’s Department of Teaching and Learning is seeking Board approval to renew a two-year contract with Curriculum Management Solutions, Inc. (CMSi – Dr. Holly Kaptain) for up to 28 service days, not to exceed 67200, funded by Title programs.The district has partnered with CMSi since 2019 to rewrite courses following a curriculum audit and has already rewritten 33 courses, with 7 more nearing full implementation. The renewed contract will continue CMSi’s work providing leadership, training, and feedback for curriculum writing and curriculum review, including recent Grade 10 curriculum review training attended by 32 teachers. While this memo reflects an intended renewal with a defined ceiling and two-year term, the district only pays for days used and is not obligated to use the full amount, indicating potential ongoing and phased curriculum development support needs.Vendors in curriculum design, professional learning, and supporting tools should view this as evidence of an established curriculum modernization initiative with a clear incumbent and multi-year funding via Title funds, creating follow-on opportunities for aligned services, integration, and complementary platforms.

Funding source identified as Title funds; work tied to Consolidated District plan and post-audit curriculum rewrite initiative beginning in 2019.
