The Literacy Intervention Tools RFP process allows vendors to submit proposals on a rolling basis. The Office of the State Board of Education recruits literacy content experts to review the proposals’ alignment to statutory requirements and the criteria outlined in the RFP document. Since many of these experts are also educators, review rounds that take place during the school year will be longer to accommodate reviewers’ schedules. The following are the timelines for Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3 reviews. Timelines for future rounds will be established on an as needed basis.
