Hearing Officer Services

The Littleton Elementary School District in Avondale, Arizona is seeking a vendor to provide professional hearing officer services. The district needs a qualified individual or organization to act on behalf of the governing board to conduct student suspension hearings. The selected hearing officer must ensure that both the hearings and the participating schools strictly adhere to established district policies regarding student suspensions. The scope of work requires the hearing officer to facilitate the entire hearing process and consult with school administrators to obtain recommendations regarding student discipline. All contracted work will be performed offsite, away from the district locations. The district is limiting eligibility for this opportunity to organizations based within the United States. The district is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these services. Bidders must submit their proposals to be considered for the contract, though the district has not specified the exact evaluation criteria or key deadline dates in the initial announcement.
