As we look at how we can extend our partnership to include your current vision for MNPS, I've attached a copy of the recent Shelby County RFP we were just awarded for your review. It includes a “Piggy Back” clause is on page 5 that would allow districts to use as a purchasing vehicle. I will send a follow up email to the team included in your previous email, and I look forward to engaging soon. Thanks again!

I got an email from Dr. Joseph this week with the vita of the new Chief of Staff, who starts in mid-September. It will be good to have an immediate supervisor. I am forwarding an email I just received tonight from Dr. Felder regarding next Wednesday's meeting (9-11) with Performance Matters. The primary purpose for their involvement appears to be to potentially provide district benchmark assessments to replace the ones currently developed by the district. They are currently scheduled to be administered September 26-30, but a separate email from Dr. Felder indicates they may be delayed, if necessary. I hope your weekend is a good one and I will try to contact you Monday. I am at Stratford HS first thing Monday morning but perhaps we can touch base afterward.
