Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 9, 2026

Sheridan School District has submitted a 2026 district conversion charter application for Jacket Academy, a new K-12 hybrid and virtual school targeted to open in August 2026. The model relies heavily on flexible virtual and hybrid instruction, digital curriculum, an LMS, online progress monitoring, remote tutoring, teleconferencing (Zoom), messaging (Remind), and data systems to support MTSS, literacy, intervention, and special populations in an online environment. The application notes that additional resources will be needed for hybrid learning, intervention services, digital instructional platforms, counseling supports, and student engagement initiatives, but no specific vendors are yet named for core virtual school technology, content, or services.This creates a live planning window for edtech, virtual program design, digital curriculum, analytics, and online tutoring providers to help the district finalize platforms, integrations, and staffing models before the August 2026 opening and three‑year budget horizon.

Edlusion is listed as the platform powering the application, but not as an implementation vendor. The academy will use state/district tools like ATLAS, DIBELS 8, UFLI, Amplify, Benchmark Workshop, StudySync, APSCN, and Remind, and will operate from the existing Alternative Learning Academy facility.
