The contract period of performance will be for 23 months beginning August 1, 2014 to June 30, The contract is contingent upon the Memorandum of Understanding between San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) and ULSDC. BACKGROUND At their February 24 th meeting, the Youth Council approved allocating $900,000 of Program Year (PY) unobligated WIA youth funds to competitively procure case management services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support youth re-engagement services in partnership with SDUSD. Activities will take place primarily at the youth pilot re-engagement center that will be located in a designated youth room at the South Metro AJCC. In addition, staff will conduct outreach in the community and at school sites where youth may be targeted for recruitment and re-engagement. The youth re-engagement center pilot project is part of the broader San Diego Youth Development Office s (YDO) Youth Opportunity Pathways Initiative (PATHWAYS) that targets youth ages who are not connected (or are insufficiently connected) to education, training and employment. PATHWAYS is an initiative funded through a grant from The Aspen Institute s Forum for Community Solutions, with support from The California Endowment. In partnership with the SDUSD and PATHWAYS, WIA Youth funds will be leveraged to provide the case management and intensive wrap-around services that will support a youth s successful reengagement and transition to education and/or occupation skills training. SDUSD has committed to leverage resources to create a systemic approach to dropout recovery and transition services, expanding their dropout recovery efforts and enhance supports to students who are at severe risk of dropout due to chronic absences, credit deficiency, low reading and math skills and English language proficiency. Utilizing the national best practice model Check & Connect SDUSD will fund staff positions to provide academic coaching and mentoring to the youth enrolled in the re-engagement center. Case Management Framework for Re-engagement Strategies The alignment of school district resources, philanthropy (PATHWAYS) and workforce development investments will be used to model innovative strategies that a growing number of cities have deployed. This collaboration will include the establishment of a re-engagement center that will offer a range of services such as individual academic assessments, opportunities to explore different education options and referrals to appropriate schools or other credential programs. The WIA funded case management 10

14 services will be aligned with the PATHWAYS initiative, piloted for two years, in three specific neighborhoods within the metro San Diego region. In addition to re-engaging youth into education or skills training, the following mandatory Department of Labor performance outcomes will be measured: Attainment of credential or certificate (high school diploma, GED, or state recognized certificate); Literacy/numeracy skill gains; and, Placement (in employment, post-secondary education, and/or advanced skills training.) Evaluation Process Overview The Youth Case Management Services RFP was issued on May 19, 2014, with the intent of recommending one contract award of $900,000, to deliver wrap around/intensive case management services to 250 youth ($3,600 cost per youth.) The evaluation process took place from June 13 th to the 23 rd, by a five-member panel of evaluators that included representation from business, education, County of San Diego HHSA and the District Attorney s Office. All evaluators were vetted to ensure there were no conflicts of interest in their participation on the panel as an evaluator, and each was given an orientation and overview of the RFP, the evaluation criteria and overall scoring process. The evaluation panel was responsible for reviewing, scoring, and ranking proposals based upon the criteria stated in the RFP. The evaluation process included a review and scoring of proposals and a debrief session for the evaluators to discuss the proposal scores and reach consensus on ranking based upon average scores. SDWP Finance staff conducted a cost/price analysis for each proposal which was factored into scoring consideration by the panel as part of the final score. Funding Recommendations/Score Detail The Workforce Partnership received a total of eight proposals and deemed seven as responsive for consideration.
