External Evaluators

External Evaluators for Program Evaluation Services

On Sept. 26, the Board approved board report 07-0926-PR15 which creates a group of vendors to provide external evaluation services for the district.

The Program Evaluation team, along with representatives from other departments, worked through an RFP process this summer to put together a group of vendors that represent a mix of local and national vendors who have a variety of expertise in quantitative and qualitative methodologies, across a wide range of sectors (e.g. specialized services, bilingual programs, curriculum implementation studies, randomized control studies, early childhood programs, after school program studies, etc.).

The external vendors identified during this RFP process are listed below.  The Program Evaluation team is available to discuss which vendors might best fit your individual project evaluation needs, so please be sure to consult with the group prior to the selection of a vendor or submission of an external grant.
