Board approves RFP review committee for mental-health services; adds student, principal and teacher representation
Summary
The board approved an RFP review committee to evaluate mental-health services proposals and agreed to add two student representatives, a principal and a teacher representative to the committee roster; board members discussed selection and turnaround time.
The Hamilton County Board of Education approved an RFP review committee to evaluate proposals for mental-health services and broadened the committee’s membership to include two student representatives, a principal selected by the principal association, and a teacher representative to be named.
The administration proposed a seven-member committee drawn from multiple departments to meet a quick turnaround. Several trustees suggested adding student voices and a principal and teacher for operational perspective. Doctor Brown said the committee could be expanded to include those additions; the board agreed by voice vote.
Board members discussed selection methods for the principal and teacher representatives. Administration suggested asking the Hamilton County Principals Association (HCPA) to nominate a principal and working with district staff to identify a teacher representative; the board asked administration to finalize names and proceed.
The committee will screen applicants in the RFP process and make recommendations to the board. The board emphasized the need for a timely review given the procurement schedule.
The board approved the committee by voice; there was no roll-call recorded for this item and no opposition was recorded on the record.
