RFP for Austin ISD Neurodiversity Community School to provide specialized 18+ transition, vocational, and workforce readiness services for neurodivergent young adults.
The Austin Independent School District (AISD) Neurodiversity Community School (NCS) is an SB 1882 Innovation Partnership designed to provide a specialized 18+ transition pathway for students with autism and related neurodivergent conditions. Serving as a bridge between secondary education and adulthood, NCS aligns with AISD’s mission to prepare every student for college, career, and life by delivering industry-aligned vocational training alongside targeted instruction in social communication, self-advocacy, and independent living skills. Through hands-on, community-integrated learning in a professional, “community center” environment, the program supports young adults ages 18–22+ who require more specialized transition, workforce readiness, and holistic support than traditional district programs provide. All respondents must comply with the requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission procedures set forth in this solicitation to ensure consistency, transparency, and alignment with applicable state law and District policy. The District reserves the right to make one or more awards if doing so is determined to be in the best interest of the District and its students.
SLED stands for State, Local, and Education. These are solicitations issued by state governments, counties, cities, school districts, utilities, and higher education institutions — as opposed to federal agencies.
