179-2526-276-Enrollment

Durham Public Schools is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide services focused on student reengagement and re-enrollment, aiming to recruit students who have left or not returned to the District’s public schools. The District faces enrollment declines attributed to factors such as student mobility, disengagement, the availability of alternative education options, homeschooling, and attendance challenges related to the pandemic. The selected vendor will be expected to identify students who have withdrawn or failed to re-enroll, conduct culturally responsive outreach to students and families, address obstacles to re-enrollment, and support the students’ successful return and integration into District schools. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to ensuring equitable access to high-quality public education for all school-aged children in Durham. The District seeks a strategic partner with proven skills in outreach, data analysis, and student and family engagement to drive increased enrollment, improved attendance, and student persistence. The solicitation, designated as 179-2526-276-Enrollment, was posted on March 18, 2026, with proposals due by April 16, 2026. The primary contact for this solicitation is Amy Morris, and the work will be performed within North Carolina.
