Vendor Solicitation for 2025–2026 Secondary Science Resource Adoption (Grades 6–12), Due 11/24

Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) is seeking print and/or digital core instructional science resources for grades 6–12 that are thoughtfully developed to meet the diverse needs of our students and teachers. All submitted resources must be fully aligned with the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Science (https://bit.ly/science_gse). This alignment is a fundamental requirement for our selection process. 

Our plan is to conduct a thorough and comprehensive learning resource adoption during the 2025–2026 academic year, with full implementation scheduled for the 2026–2027 school year. RCPS’s secondary science program is committed to a deliberate and thoughtful adoption process. We believe that adequate time is essential to effectively vet instructional materials to ensure they reflect Georgia’s curriculum vision for secondary science education.  

To be considered for participation, please complete the Vendor Solicitation Survey by Monday, November 24, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. (EST).
