Contract AwardEducation & TrainingDetected Jun 24, 2026

The June 24, 2026 agenda includes an agreement between Palermo Union Elementary School District and Butte County Office of Education for a LETRS professional learning program effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, in the amount of $139,595 funded by a Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant. The attached interagency agreement and exhibits describe participation in Lexia LETRS Cohort 1 for 14 educators beginning August 31, 2026, with a two-year virtual program delivered by Lexia and coordination by BCOE. This indicates a significant investment in evidence-based literacy professional development aligned with the science of reading, with Palermo contributing $14,000 of a total $23,800 cohort cost and BCOE subsidizing the rest while the larger $139,595 figure likely covers additional LETRS-related services and supports.Vendors in literacy curriculum, assessment, and intervention can treat LETRS as the PD backbone and position complementary resources, coaching, and tools that align with the district’s shift toward structured literacy over the next two school years.

Funding source is Learning Recovery Emergency Block Grant, tying the work to post-pandemic literacy recovery priorities.

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.
