School committee approves bid request for superintendent search consultant
Summary
The committee voted to ask district administration to issue a request for proposals for a superintendent search consultant; the committee noted the consultant used in the previous search is not available and one member recorded a dissenting vote.
The Tiverton School Committee voted on Jan. 14 to direct district administration to advertise a request for proposals for a superintendent-search consultant to assist with the district’s upcoming recruitment.
The committee said it used an outside consultant during the previous superintendent search and found the process effective; the same consultant is no longer available. A motion to authorize administration to issue the bid request passed after a brief discussion; one member recorded a "no" vote during the roll call on the motion.
Why it matters: A search consultant typically assists with candidate outreach, screening, stakeholder engagement and logistics. Committee members said using a consultant previously streamlined the process and helped organize public input and interviews.
What happens next: Staff will prepare and post the request for proposals, then return to the committee with candidate consultants and a recommended timeline for the search.
