Sudbury Public Schools

Dear SPS Staff and Families:

At its meeting on Monday, April 13, 2026, the School Committee awarded the contract for the district’s Extended Day program to Sudbury Extended Day (“SED”).

The procurement process was conducted in accordance with Massachusetts procurement law. The

process was managed by the district’s Procurement Officer, Don Sawyer, and overseen by the School Committee.

An evaluation committee, facilitated by the Procurement Officer reviewed and scored each proposal in accordance with the criteria established in the Request for Proposal (“RFP”). The evaluation committee did not include any School Committee members. Based on that evaluation, Sudbury Extended Day was identified as the top-ranked provider.

Individuals who would like to review the evaluation committee’s work, may refer to the April 13, 2026 School Committee agenda packet, starting on page 111. The RFP process was carried out in accordance with the approved timeline, as discussed at the September 22 and December 18, 2025 meetings (see page 21 and page 51, respectively).

SPS administration will now move forward with preparation and finalization of the contract. The contract is expected to be executed by the School Committee by the end of April 2026.

The School Committee extends its sincere appreciation to the district’s Procurement Officer for thoughtful oversight of the RFP process, to the members of the evaluation committee for their diligent review of the proposals submitted, and to all respondents for their time, effort, and interest in supporting extended day services in our community. The Committee also thanks Sudbury Extended Day for its ongoing partnership with the district and its continued commitment to serving students.
