Request for Applications (RFA): School District EDI Planning & Implementation Grants
We seek support from each school district in Alameda County in the planning and implementation of the Early Development Instrument (EDI) for academic year 2025/26. It should be noted that districts who wish to receive funding from Measure C are expected to commit to the adoption of the EDI. A key requirement for receiving a grant is identifying an EDI coordinator who will serve as the primary liaison between the school district and First 5, ensuring smooth communication, coordination, and data transfer for the successful implementation of the EDI study. Key responsibilities are in the scope below and include supporting district-wide engagement by facilitating teacher training, managing logistics for EDI completion, coordinating with unions and school boards as needed, and promoting the use of EDI data for local decision-making. Please review the application materials for scope of work, and application instructions.
