The PLEs will be designed for field-based implementation led by trained professionals. The contractor retained under this RFP will develop and lead a training program on PLE implementation and develop and propose criteria for NYSED to approve qualified entities and/or individuals to deliver PLEs and wraparound services (e.g., peer-to-peer support networks, coaching, mentoring, professional learning communities).  At the close of the training program, NYSED will approve qualified entities and/or individuals to deliver ongoing PLEs and wraparound services to the field.

Subcontracting will be limited to fifty percent (50%) of the total contract budget. Subcontracting is defined as non-employee direct personal services and related incidental expenses, including travel.
