| | | With:
Catapult Learning, LLC
CORA Services, Inc.

| | | Purpose:
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that an equitable share of award dollars provided to Intermediate Unit 26 be provided to Philadelphia non-public schools in the form of services.

|
|
| | | | | | | | | | Compensation not to exceed: $600,000
|
|
| | | | | | | | | | Separate Compensation by Vendor:
All entities paid out of an aggregate amount not to exceed $600,000
|
|
| | | | | | | | | | Location:
Philadelphia non-public schools.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | | Description:
IU 26 must provide IDEA services directly or contract with vendors to provide these services based on the selection of a contractor by each of the non-public schools. At the request of non-public schools, the IDEA services are to be provided by contractors as the most efficient and effective method as those same contractors also provide Titles I, II and III and IV services. IU 26 manages the contractor provision of services and regularly consults with non-public schools to ensure services are delivered effectively and efficiently. At this time, IU 26 does not know the identified disabled student counts in non-public schools or the dollar amount of the allocation to non-public schools overall. However, to ensure approvals are secured prior to the start of services, an aggregate amount is listed for payments to all contractors with the final, specific allocations to be made for each contractor prior to June 30, 2020. The expected outcome of these contracts is improved academic performance of identified disabled non-public school students.
