Agenda Item
i. RFQ 24-565 Athletic Trainers for the Traditional High Schools in DeKalb County School District (Not to exceed $1,200,000) ~ Updated 6.6.2024
Summary: Presented by: Champion. Michelle Dillard, Chief of Schools, Division of Schools and Leadership James Jackson, Executive Director of Athletics, Schools and Leadership
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the award of RFQ 24-547 DCSD Athletic Trainers to Northside Hospital, not to exceed $1,200,000.
Why: DCSD desires to contract with Northside Hospital to provide trainers to the 19 traditional high schools. The DeKalb County School District is the only school district in metro-Atlanta without full time athletic trainers at its high schools. Athletic trainers play a crucial role in athlete safety; they are critical members of any sports medicine team and are, in most cases, the “first responders” in preventing, identifying, managing, and treating injuries.
Details: Specific details related to the scope of work for this Request for Proposal can be found on the DeKalb County School District’s solicitation website at https://dekalbschoolsga.ionwave.net/

Two bids were reviewed and deemed responsive to the requirements of the solicitation. The 2 bids were evaluated by an evaluation committee, which consisted of four (4) staff members from the Athletic Department.
