IDEA Public Schools

PART I - GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
1) Introduction and Purpose
IDEA Public Schools ("IDEA") is a Texas nonprofit corporation and a tax-exempt organization pursuant
to the Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Chapter 12, Subchapter D of the
Texas Education Code and its Contract for Charter with the Texas State Board of Education, as renewed
by the Commissioner of Education, IDEA is an open-enrollment charter holder,
governmental entity and public school system. IDEA prepares Texas students from underserved
communities for success in college and citizenship. IDEA is a growing network of high-performing
charter schools serving students located throughout Texas in the Austin, El Paso, Houston, Permian
Basin, Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, and Tarrant County regions. Although IDEA's growth is rapid, it
is also carefully planned. Schools begin with select grade levels and eventually reach full scale as a Pre-
K-12 campus as grade levels are added to accommodate the students' advancement.
IDEA's mission is College for All. IDEA serves primarily low-income students in underserved areas of
both rural and urban communities. Over 80% of IDEA students are considered low-income and one of
every three students is the first in their family to go to college. Since the first graduating class in 2007,
100% of seniors have been accepted and matriculated to a college or university every year for fourteen
consecutive years. Thanks to a rigorous path to college that begins in Pre-K, IDEA students attend
selective universities throughout the country, win national awards and scholarships, and complete
college at a rate six times the national average for low-income students.
Note: While IDEA's affiliates serve students in other states, this Request for Proposals and
any subsequent contract is only for goods or services provided to IDEA's Texas based charter
school and campuses.
