Board authorizes state-funded school mapping RFP to meet September 2026 compliance deadline
Summary
Board members authorized a request for proposal for state-funded school mapping required by recent legislation; staff said the mapping will integrate with the county 911 center, include door marking and building layouts, and must be completed by September 2026.
The Brooke County Schools Board authorized district administration to issue a request for proposal to produce state-funded school mapping required by recently enacted legislation, staff told the board.
A staff member explained the mapping is a state-funded effort intended to bring the district into compliance with new requirements and must be completed by September 2026. The work, the staff member said, will include building layouts, door marking and integration with the county 911 call center so emergency responders have consistent location data.
Board discussion emphasized the need for a coordinated approach so all schools are ‘‘on the same page’’ regarding layouts and safety markings, and the staff member confirmed the state will fund the mapping effort. No detailed funding amounts, vendor names for the mapping, or an exact RFP timetable were provided in the excerpt beyond authorization to issue an RFP and the stated compliance deadline.
The board directed staff to proceed with the RFP so the district meets the statutory compliance timeline. Follow-up tasks include drafting the RFP, coordinating with the county 911 center, and returning contract recommendations to the board once proposals are evaluated.
The authorization came amid a larger agenda that also included procurement approvals and personnel actions; the board set its next meeting for Dec. 15, 2025 at 6:00 p.m.
