RFI - Chromebook Web Content Filtering & Student Safety Monitoring

Edmonds School District is seeking information from qualified vendors for Chromebook Web Content Filtering and Student Safety Monitoring Services under solicitation RFIQ26-07TL. This Request for Information is intended for planning and information-gathering purposes to support a district of 20,000 students and 3,500 staff, and it will not result in a direct contract award. The district is evaluating solutions based on technical filtering capabilities, Google Workspace integration, and the ability to monitor student activity across Drive, Gmail, and Gemini to detect self-harm, bullying, and violence. Key requirements include 24/7 monitoring and alert services, robust administrative controls, and a parent portal for custom filtering and reporting. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with FERPA, COPPA, and Washington State student data privacy requirements, including the ability to execute a Data Privacy Agreement and provide professional and commercial general liability insurance. Pricing information is requested for one-year, three-year, and five-year terms, with a focus on transparency regarding setup fees and recurring module costs. The district prefers solutions available through cooperative purchasing contracts such as WSIPC, KCDA, or OETC. Responses are due electronically to Oksana Firsov by December 4, 2026, with potential product demonstrations following in December 2026 and January 2027, leading toward a final board decision in early 2027 and implementation by spring or summer 2027.
