SCOPE: The Little Rock School District is an urban district consisting of Five High Schools, Six Middle Schools, Two K-8, Five Early Childhood Centers, One Vocational Center, and 22 Elementary schools. The purpose of this RFP is to solicit responses from qualified firms/persons to develop and coordinate public relations and advertising activities for the Little Rock School District (LRSD). The main goal of any resulting contract will be to promote LRSD’s brand and programs with the intent of student retention. Any media campaign will promote ALL LRSD public schools and concentrate on areas of concern: for example, students in elementary school leaving for charter schools; high school students leaving the District to attend nearby districts, etc. The vendor and District will mutually agree upon measurable objectives and performance indicators to determine success of campaign.
Specifically, we seek a firm that will work closely with District staff and a diverse community to develop and implement a comprehensive media plan. The successful media/marketing vendor will be charged with the following minimum scope of work requirements:

- Provide evidence to measure the success of the campaign.
The District intends to award a mutually agreeable contract for services above contingent upon proposal review and district funding. Respondents should clearly define the best way to complete the scope of work above and be expected to:
Cooperate fully with designated personnel from LRSD, as appropriate, during the course of the media contract.
