Contract AwardEducation & TrainingDetected Jun 3, 2026

Sole source SS26-012-1 covers study abroad program fees paid to the Illinois Consortium for International Studies and Programs (ICISP) through Heartland Community College. Madison College participates in the consortium and collects deposits and payments from students, then passes these funds through to ICISP for program costs; no institutional funds are used. Due to higher-than-expected student participation in FY2025-2026, the payment ceiling was raised from $70,000 to $85,000.While this is a pass-through arrangement, the growth in participation suggests expanding student interest in international programming. Vendors offering study abroad management platforms, risk and travel services, or supplemental virtual exchange and global learning tools could use this as a signal to propose solutions that help Madison College scale and manage its international education portfolio more efficiently.

All payments are pass-through from students; growth beyond $85,000 could trigger further board action in future years.

Contract Award

Jefferson County Public Schools entered a professional services contract with Magnet Schools of America for NIMSL coaching, strategic planning, and implementation support for magnet schools. The contract was not to exceed $150,000 and runs from August 22, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The work includes a magnet blueprint, collaborative coaching, and implementation tools for ten schools. It is already awarded, but it signals follow-on magnet program support, training, and possible expansion needs.

Pre-RFP

The agenda calls for an AOD symposium planning update. AOD likely refers to alcohol and other drugs, and the item suggests the task force is still shaping the event rather than awarding work. That makes this useful for training, event support, and speaker or logistics follow-up.

Budget Planning

The agenda included a Board Plan of Improvement discussion. The item is listed as a planning discussion rather than an award or solicitation, so it points to upcoming district priorities but not a selected vendor. A seller would watch for defined initiatives, staffing needs, or funded action items that come out of the plan.
