NOTICE OF INTENT TO ENTER SOLE-SOURCE CONTRACT

Statesmen College Preparatory Academy for Boys Public Charter School (“Statesmen”) intends to enter into a sole source contract with Dr. Shauna Knox and The Emancipation Group (“The Emancipation Group”) for the 2026-2027 school year. The decision to conduct a sole source agreement is due to Dr. Knox and The Emancipation Group's specialized expertise in the codification of Statesmen's AI program, the implementation of the Emancipation Game, and the design and execution of data and observational work examining the triangulation between students, staff, and computer-based systems. Statesmen plans to use their services during the 2026-2027 school year to support these initiatives.

We anticipate the price of the contract will be $26,000. The sole source contract will be awarded on Monday, October 5th, 2026 by 5:00pm. If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Bloom (Chief of Staff and Development) before the award date using the information below:
