Discovery Education, Inc.
Term: No change in term.
Original not-to-exceed amount: $71,936.00.
Amended not-to-exceed amount: $99,830
Total amount not to exceed $171,766.
Discovery Education, Inc. acquired Mystery Science on or about October 30, 2020 and by press release.
Scope: On October 30, 2020, Mystery Science was acquired by Discovery Education, Inc. This resolution is due to the District’s need to purchase additional consumable science materials that will support science instruction in our K,3,4,5 classrooms across the district. Discovery Education, Inc. is aligned with the New York State Science Learning Standards and encourages students to engage in inquiry-based activities. Additionally, engineering with household items is infused throughout the curriculum.
This is an amendment to the existing contract of $71,936 ($39,968 for year 1 2021-2022, $31,968 for year 2 2022-2023) (BOE approved 5/19/2021, BOCS approved 5/27/2021 contract # 2022-00000033) and represents an increase of $99,830 due to a request for supply packs. The total contract will be $171,766. |
