Board authorizes RFP for boundary and enrollment study after small enrollment decline
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to authorize an RFP to retain an outside firm to study school boundaries and enrollment patterns after the district reported a decline of 127 students since the start of school; trustees said they want community input before any closure decisions.
Trustees on Sept. 10 authorized the district to issue a request for proposals to conduct an independent boundary and enrollment study after Superintendent Frankie Alvarado reported the district is down 127 students since the start of school.
Alvarado said the RFP would produce an in-depth report to inform decisions about potential school-closure scenarios and recommended the district solicit community feedback once a vendor's analysis identifies target communities. Trustees discussed cost and timing; Alvarado said the district will solicit bids and refine scope based on proposals. The board approved the motion to authorize an RFP (moved by Trustee Linda Gilkerson, seconded by Trustee Katherine Dickerson) by a 7–0 vote.
Trustee Yvonne Wagstaff asked whether the cost was in the current budget and Alvarado said the board would prioritize the work and identify funding, while Trustee Doug Englekirk said spending for the study is necessary to make an informed decision about facilities.
