II. NWEA Contract Approval
A.
NWEA Contract Approval
Monica Iannessa I: The Budget Committee is on board with the NWEA Contract and is recommending approval.. This is to be compliant with the law, which states that charter schools must provide a 3rd party vendor for internal testing. We vetted vendors from the provided list and landed on NWEA. This will be a test for math, English and the annual measurement of growth.
Juan Pablo Herrera: $55,800 is the total cost. Funding comes from A-G completion grant.
Sara Margiotta: $80,000 is the number that has been earmarked for this line item.
