Trauma-informed School System Transformation at Boston Public Schools
BPHC has a stated priority to promote racial justice and health equity that advances our vision of achieving optimal health and well-being for all Boston residents. In alignment with this priority, BPHC is seeking vendor(s) with extensive knowledge and experience in utilizing racially just, trauma-informed methodologies for school system transformation. Ten BPS schools have been chosen for TISST transformation, in collaboration with the Superintendent, Chief of Student of Support, and by the use of the BPS Opportunity Index, as well as consideration of the numbers of safety calls, day to day clinical acuity and need, and rates of district crisis response.
BPHC is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify qualified individuals or organizations with expertise in bringing culturally sensitive, culturally humble, racially just trauma-informed care to school systems.
*Due date for submitted questions has been revised to November 22, 2023.
The chosen vendor will collaborate with Boston Public Schools (BPS) to develop and implement a comprehensive framework to effectively address mental health and trauma-related needs for ten BPS school communities: students, teachers, staff, and administration alike. The proposed framework should align with evidence-based approaches and best practices to empower BPS to become a pillar of support and resilience for school communities who face significant concurrent mental health and trauma challenges. As noted by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education “we must be aware of the prevalence of trauma in the lives of the children in our schools.
