2025-19 - Professional Consultant Serv. for School Redistricting, School Start Times and T

The North Kingstown School Department (NKSD) is seeking proposals from qualified consultants or firms to provide professional services related to the analysis of demographic and enrollment data, the development of elementary school redistricting recommendations, and an evaluation of school transportation efficiency and start times.

The NKSD  operates five elementary schools and is currently facing enrollment imbalances, demographic shifts, and changing transportation demands. As a result, the District is undertaking an evaluation of its elementary school attendance boundaries. The primary goal of this effort is to ensure that student populations are distributed across schools in a balanced and equitable manner, particularly in response to factors such as population growth, new housing construction, and community demographics.
This RFP aims to ensure equitable school boundaries, efficient transportation operations, and a review of current school start times for potential improvements. The work being completed as part of the redistricting recommendations must align with the School Committee Policy JCAA, Establishing School Attendance Boundary Lines.
