Pre-RFPEducation & TrainingDetected May 13, 2026

The Snohomish School District Middle School Science Adoption team conducted a needs assessment, field-tested Amplify and Open Sci Ed, and on April 29, 2026 recommended adopting Open Sci Ed for middle school science. The Board was briefed that all middle school science teachers field-tested both curricula and that Open Sci Ed training for all middle school science teachers will occur in August 2026. Teachers will begin using the new curriculum in early fall 2026, followed by classroom visits, coaching, technical assistance, and additional training in winter 2027.This points to significant PD, implementation support, and potential resource and assessment needs surrounding Open Sci Ed. Vendors that specialize in science PD, coaching, assessment alignment, and hands-on lab materials can engage with Teaching and Learning to support training cycles, coaching visits, and material management for the new program.

The district plans classroom visits and coaching after initial implementation, indicating openness to external technical assistance or professional learning partners.

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.

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.
