The original agreement includes the web-based assessment system consisting of the Achievement Series, a web-based districtwide assessment solution that allows teachers to develop and administer online and paper-based tests, capture the results, and produce standards-based reports.  Also included is ExamView, a module that allows access to the Test Prep System Item Bank, scanners, and associated maintenance.  The future cost of the Achievement Series, valued at $211,500 last year, has been waived through negotiations by the Superintendent and staff.

This amendment adds an additional module that will allow compatibility for tests and test items from ExamView to the Achievement Series. The annual cost of this module is $49,900. The amendment also provides a dedicated Scantron Project Manager, for which Hillsborough County Public Schools will be billed, at a rate of $95,000 annually. This is a shared cost for a Scantron employee who will be providing ongoing support and training for the Achievement Series.  The net cost reduction for the next year will be $66,600.
