Florida Parent Transparency Portal

The Florida Department of Education issued RFI 2027-037 to gather information for the development of a statewide Parent Transparency Portal. This platform is intended to provide parents and the public with a consolidated view of education data across all publicly funded options in Florida, ranging from Early Learning to the Florida College System. The scope includes traditional public schools, charter schools, postsecondary institutions, and private schools participating in state scholarship programs. The agency is seeking vendor input on solution options, such as whether to build a new platform or leverage existing ones, as well as guidance on implementation approaches, interoperability, and sustainment models. Key technical requirements for the portal include AI-enabled navigation features, multilingual support, and plain-language design. The solution must adhere to FERPA, ADA, and WCAG standards, and incorporate Florida Administrative Code Rule 60-GG Florida Cybersecurity Standards. Respondents are asked to provide estimated costs and realistic timelines for a Minimum Viable Product and full statewide rollout, though the department has not yet established a formal budget or target date. This solicitation is strictly for informational purposes to support future planning and budget requests; it is not a competitive bid, and no contract will be awarded based on the submissions.
