Description

Chicago Public Schools is establishing a prequalified provider pool for arts education services, seeking a broad range of qualified arts organizations to give schools a menu of programs and services. The pool covers supplemental programming across music, dance, theatre, visual arts, media arts, and literary arts, including residencies, workshops, master classes, field trips, arts integration, and creative workforce and career pathways. Programming may take place during school hours, after school, in summer, or during school breaks, and must align with Illinois Arts Learning Standards and the CPS Arts Education Plan. Educational technology products and software are outside the scope. The pool is open to all respondents meeting the requirements; respondents are not ranked against one another, and cost proposals are non-evaluative. Submissions include organizational qualifications, implementation and management information, references, financial statements, personnel qualifications, licenses, insurance evidence or a commitment to obtain required coverage, cost information, MBE/WBE compliance materials, student-data disclosures, and completed solicitation attachments. Student-facing services are subject to active-supervision, background-check, mandated-reporting, training, technology, data-security, records-retention, and student-data requirements. The current package includes the revised execution page, Attachment F cost proposal, Attachment G vendor-information spreadsheet, Attachment I interrogatories, Attachment J student-data exhibit, MBE/WBE forms, and an implementation and management plan. Responses are due November 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time.
