Priority 1 · Validate first
Missouri
A specific credential incentive, current expansion window, or dated graduation reform warrants early validation of a Pearson opportunity.
State evidence
Make the next decision verifiable
Open question
The grant guide and webpage differ on the December student-use date (31 versus 30); confirm with DESE. The exact purchase classification, local match, awarded recipient budget, and procurement route remain unverified.
Recommended action
Prioritize validation with awarded CTE programs ahead of the September budget deadline; crosswalk the offering and confirm local match and approved costs.
Required before a sales forecast
- Exact product or credential eligibility, supported by a current crosswalk.
- A named buyer with a usable budget and purchasing authority.
- A procurement route, decision date, and implementation capacity.
