PART III – BACKGROUND & SCOPE OF SERVICES

Introduction: IDEA Public Schools (“IDEA”) is a Texas non-profit corporation and a tax-exempt organization

pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Chapter 12, Subchapter D of the Texas

Education Code and its Contract for Charter with the Texas State Board of Education, as renewed by the

Commissioner of Education, IDEA is an open-enrollment charter holder, governmental entity, and public school

system. IDEA transforms education by preparing graduates to succeed in college and life. IDEA is a growing

network of high-performing charter schools serving students located throughout Texas in the Austin, El Paso,

Houston, Permian Basin, Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, and Tarrant County regions.

IDEA serves primarily low-income students in underserved areas of both rural and urban communities. Over 80%

of IDEA students are considered low-income, and one in every three students is the first in their family to go to

college. Since the first graduating class in 2007, nearly 100% of seniors have been accepted and matriculated to a

college or university every year. Thanks to a rigorous path to college, IDEA students attend selective universities

throughout the country, win national awards and scholarships, and complete college at a rate six times the national

average for low-income students.

Note: While IDEA’s program, curriculum, and mission has been replicated to serve students in other states, this

Request for Qualifications and any subsequent contract is only for goods and services provided to IDEA’s Texas-

based charter school and campuses.
