Executive Summary
The Director of Research and Accountability, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to approve the purchase of the eduCLIMBER platform from Renaissance Learning, Inc. eduCLIMBER is an interactive student data system that integrates all data points into one platform in order to evaluate and monitor data at the student, school, and district level. This system should increase student achievement and wellbeing by evaluating and monitoring the effectiveness of both Tier 1 practices and Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions. eduCLIMBER will replace the district’s current data analysis system, PowerSchool with an annual savings of $25,016.08.
The year one subtotal of $186,950.00 reflects the onboarding and professional development for the 2022-23 school year and the total cost for the 2023-24 school year.
Summary:
2022-2023 School Year: $41,750.00
2023-2024 School Year: $145,200.00
2024-2025 School Year: $145,200.00
2025-2026 School Year: $145.200.00
While moving forward with the item, eduCLIMBER was purchased from Illuminate Education by Renaissance Learning, Inc. Documents with either Illuminate or Renaissance are valid during this transition. Since Renaissance is the same platform as the K-2 FAST state testing, this acquisition will further increase alignment with our data. Renaissance Learning, Inc. is a sole source provider.

Financial Impact
The cost for this agenda item is $41,750.00, see attached budget sheet. The cost for the previous fiscal year was $0.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
