5.Z. Consider/Approve Purchase of the Renewal of Canvas, the Learning Management System for the District Description: Priority #1: Optimize Engaging and Diverse Learning This is an exclusive contract that provides a Learning Management System for CFBISD Instructional Staff.  A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, and delivery of electronic educational courses.  This LMS allows teachers to become facilitators and orchestrators of learning while encouraging students to become engaged with and own their learning.  Most university systems use an LMS. Therefore, this is another step for our students to prepare for college. Instructure no longer offers their Canvas product renewals individually, but as bundles of several products. The bundle that that most closely matches the District’s needs includes a new AI enabled feature that scans documents as they are created for compliance with the guidelines as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act or A.D.A.  The cost of a 1-year renewal will be $199,455.63, of which $80,000 will be funded with TIMA funds and the remainder with General Funds. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approves the renewal purchase of Canvas for the Learning Management System and authorizes the Superintendent, or her designee, to execute purchases, renewals, and contracts in the best interest of the District, as presented.
