III. Introduction

District Background:

With nearly 50,000 students, Cumberland County Schools is the 5th largest school district in NC with 86

schools - 50 elementary, 17 middle, 17 high, and 2 virtual schools. The district is the 2nd largest employer in

Cumberland County, surpassed only by the military, with over 6,000 full-time employees.

Reflecting its proximity to Fort Bragg, over 25% of the student population is militarily connected, a critical

demographic priority for the district. The student body is exceptionally diverse, speaking more than 82

native languages and representing the following approximate racial/ethnic breakdown: 45.5% Black, 26.2%

White, 15.3% Hispanic, 9.0% Two or More Races, 2.0% Asian, 1.4% Native American, and 0.5%

Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.

Through CCS’s Strategic Plan, we are committed to ensuring a safe, positive, and rigorous learning

environment to prepare lifelong learners to reach their maximum potential. It is important for our district to

create, develop, and implement a streamlined MTSS framework that meets the needs of all students through

the use of a dynamic digital platform that saves time for educators and increases student outcomes.

IV. Purpose

The objective of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to select a qualified vendor to provide a comprehensive,

web-based MTSS digital platform. This solution must empower Cumberland County Schools to improve

student outcomes in academics, attendance, and behavior through data-driven intervention tools and

tailored instructional support for all students.

V. Project Expectations

The selected web-based platform must allow for the assignment of tailored educational support methods

that address the unique requirements of every student. It should equip staff with interactive resources for

intervention that facilitate multiple levels of assistance, specific guidance, and focused teaching. This

program will underpin a comprehensive multi-tiered framework designed to support the entire

development of the child, aiming for beneficial and lasting student results.

Data Integration

The platform must serve as an authoritative source by aggregating data from various district systems.

● SIS integration: Seamless nightly sync with Infinite Campus for rostering, demographics,

attendance, and behavior incidents.

● Assessment Ingestion: Support automated nightly data ingestion with major assessment partners.

● Historical Data: House unlimited years of historical data to track student progress longitudinally.

● Automated Data Export: Support automated nightly SFTP exports of all platforms to a shared folder

for district IT use with external platforms.

Student Data And Intervention Planning & Management

The platform must automate the identification of students requiring support to ensure student needs are

met and timeliness.
