CDE Advisory List of Providers

CDE’s 2019 School Redesign Request for Information (RFI)

CDE concluded its 2019 RFI evaluation in the fall of 2019, and the providers who were successful in that process are now included on our Advisory List. Schools and districts with low-performing schools are encouraged to consider the providers on the list, who are in five categories:

Charter Schools and Networks
Turnaround Leadership Development Providers
School Improvement Support Partners
Management Partners
Stakeholder Engagement Specialists

CDE recommends that districts at least consider using a Request for Proposal (RFP) process when hiring an external partner. The following RFP template is provided as an example only. Districts should consult their legal counsel and procurement policies before releasing an RFP.

CDE's 2020 Advisory List of Providers Updates

CDE did not run an RFI process in 2020. Providers on the 2019 Advisory List had the option of submitting an update on their offerings in the fall of 2020. If a provider submitted an update, you will see the link labeled "2020 Update" in the table below. Also, please note that all Leadership Development providers submitted updated program descriptions for 2021-22. Those can be viewed by clicking the "More information" link in the "Approved Categories 2019" column below.

If you have questions about the Advisory List or the RFI process, please contact Kate Bartlett, Turnaround Program Manager.

If you need this information in an alternate format, please contact Nate Goss, Turnaround Program Coordinator.
