The last bell of the school year hasn’t even stopped ringing and already district superintendents, administrators, school boards, and principals already are planning for next year.
That’s because when it comes to things like changing your school transportation provider — for either daily student transport or special outings and field trips — almost everything has to be put out to bid. At least for public school districts.
The Bid Process
Requiring school districts to get a minimum number of bids makes sense from an economic perspective. It prevents school boards or administrators from awarding “no-bid” contracts to politically connected contractors. It also encourages districts to get the lowest possible price with the best possible service.
The problem is that the bid process takes time. For school districts to compile bids with all the required parameters, post those bids publicly, collect multiple bids from various contractors, then review and analyze those bids before actually awarding them, it can be weeks or even months for the entire process to play out.
That’s why school districts are busy in June even though there are fewer students in their buildings. They have to get ready for fall by making plans now that can take months to come to fruition.
