Expanded Success Initiative
Request for Listing Webinar for Approved Organizations
2
• A list of approved organizations is featured on the RFL page of The Fund for Public Schools (FPS) website here www.nycgrads.org/expandedsuccessinitiative_RFL_info.
• Schools are able to sort listed applicant data on a private DOE site. Schools have access to full RFL applications for each organization as well as VoiceThread presentations.
• The listing is provided as a service to create partnerships between ESI schools and approved organizations. Approved organizations may not contact schools or Networks directly to solicit services.
• ESI schools are not obligated to use external organizations for any part of the initiative. If a school opts to work with an external organization as part of the ESI initiative, it will only select from the list of approved organizations.
• Even if an organization is approved to be listed, it is not guaranteed that its services will be procured by any participating ESI school.
• Depending on the results of the Design Challenge application process, even if a participating ESI school contacts an organization to negotiate services, that school may not receive ESI funding.
