Description

Indian Prairie School District 204 is seeking a communications consulting firm to support the community engagement component of its strategic planning process. The selected firm will develop and execute an engagement strategy, conduct approximately 20–30 small-group sessions with stakeholder audiences, conduct up to 10 individual stakeholder interviews, and synthesize findings for the Steering Committee. The district will coordinate participant recruitment, secure meeting locations, provide translation support when needed, and manage student parental consent. Engagement may use a mixture of in-person and remote activities, and the proposal should explain the firm's approach. The work includes engagement with students, families, staff, administrators, community members, business and civic groups, and other stakeholders. Sessions will generally include no more than 20–25 participants, with middle- and high-school students included. The firm must address confidentiality, FERPA/ISSRA requirements, anonymized aggregate reporting for student input, Google-compatible tools, and appropriate recording or note-taking methods; video recordings are not expected. The anticipated project period is November 1, 2026, through February 1, 2027, and the district seeks not to exceed $50,000. Proposals must include relevant experience, project-lead and facilitator information, leadership resumes, a staff-continuity process, three professional references, a project plan, and projected cost. A certificate of insurance must also be included.
