CSI School Talent Retention

The contract focuses on improving teacher retention in comprehensive support and improvement schools through data-driven coaching, professional development, and action planning tailored to school principals. It aims to strengthen school climate as a strategic lever for retaining educators, with particular emphasis on turnaround environments where challenges are most acute. The initiative is designed to equip principals with targeted tools and sustained support to foster positive, inclusive, and stable workplace cultures that reduce turnover and enhance instructional continuity. The effort is led by the District of Columbia’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education and is forecasted for release in July 2026. While specific funding, award mechanisms, or eligibility criteria are not yet detailed, the scope clearly prioritizes outcomes tied to measurable improvements in teacher retention rates. The program is expected to leverage evidence-based practices and real-time data to guide interventions, ensuring responsiveness to the unique needs of each targeted school. No set-aside type or NAICS code is specified at this stage, but the work will be performed within the District of Columbia, aligning with local education reform priorities.
