This initiative is part of the district’s broader mission to ensure all students, including those enrolled in private Institutions, have access to educational resources and support that align with federal and state requirements for equitable services. The district, serving approximately 38,000 students across 53 diverse school communities in San Joaquin County, is committed to preparing every student for college, career, and community readiness, with a focus on lifting youth out of poverty through collaborative partnerships with universities, businesses, and community organizations. The solicitation is issued by the State and Federal Programs office under the California State and Local Education (SLED) agency, with primary point of contact Ashley Frades and secondary contact Sheikia Wilson available for inquiries. Interested providers must comply with federal guidelines governing services to non-public school students and must demonstrate experience delivering high-quality, equitable educational support in alignment with SUSD’s goals. The contract will require implementation within the district’s service area in Stockton, California, with no specified place of performance beyond the state boundary. Proposals must be submitted through the district’s procurement portal before the deadline, and providers are expected to work in coordination with district administrators to ensure compliance, accountability, and measurable outcomes for participating private school students. The district emphasizes community engagement and innovation in selecting partners who share its vision of educational equity and opportunity for all youth regardless of school type.
