Mercedes ISD to solicit proposals for school psychology and diagnostic services
Summary
The board approved issuing requests for proposals to contract school psychology and educational diagnostic services because district staff said current in-house capacity is insufficient; the vote was unanimous.
The Mercedes ISD Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to solicit proposals for school psychology and educational diagnostic services to address capacity gaps within the district. Interim Superintendent Dr. Alicia Noyola explained administration's recommendation that the district contract out for services because in-house staffing is insufficient to meet student needs.
According to the minutes, Dr. Noyola said administration recommended going out for proposals "for School Psycology and Educational Diagnostic Services due to not having enough in our district to cover the needs therefore our district would have to contract out for the services." The board moved and voted unanimously to approve the RFP process.
The board did not specify dollar amounts, vendors, or contract lengths; staff will return with proposals and recommendations following the RFP process.
