The Contractor shall recruit, hire, assign, and retain qualified personnel who meet all District standards, complete required background clearances, and demonstrate the skills, temperament, and professionalism necessary to support high-quality expanded learning programs. As the employer of record, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility for all employment-related obligations, including payroll administration, staff supervision and evaluation, ongoing performance management, onboarding, training, discipline, and separation. Contractor personnel shall work under a District-directed model and will be required to follow all daily guidance, schedules, and program directives issued by the LVUSD Site Coordinator at each campus. To ensure the continuity of services, the Contractor shall provide adequate daily staffing coverage at every assigned site and must maintain a sufficient pool of available substitute staff to avoid any disruption in supervision or program operations. The Contractor shall provide both initial and ongoing training to its employees, ensuring that all staff are prepared to deliver safe, student-centered programming that aligns with LVUSD Plus+ expectations, prioritizes active engagement, and reflects best practices in youth development, enrichment, and supervision. Program activities delivered by Contractor personnel must be hands-on, play-based, and enrichment-focused, and may not consist of passive supervision, worksheet-based academics, or activities inconsistent with the District’s expanded learning philosophy. The Contractor shall maintain appropriate supervision of students at all times, including during transitions, restroom breaks, outdoor play, and recreational activities, and shall ensure adherence to all District safety procedures, mandated reporting obligations, and emergency protocols. To support effective operations and accountability, the Contractor shall also designate a leadership representative who will serve as the primary liaison with District administration, participate in scheduled check-ins, and maintain consistent communication regarding staffing, site conditions, student needs, and program quality. At all times, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable District policies, state and federal laws, health and safety requirements, and the California Expanded Learning Quality Standards, ensuring that its services are delivered with fidelity, professionalism, and adherence to the standards set forth in this RFP.
