The 30-second brief
37 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Vantage Career Center's meetings, most in information technology and education & training. The latest, from Oct 1: Jill worked with Ashley Cline to create an absence management tool to help the district comply with Ohio's enhanced attendance requirements in HB96. The report does not say a vendor was selected, so this reads as an internal or partner-led build still in progress. The buying signal is the compliance need around chronic absenteeism and attendance tracking.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Information Technology and Education & Training.
Latest awards: Wallace Plumbing for wallace Plumbing Installs Drain Pipe at Vantage (Sep 2026) and Canvas Lms for vantage Renews Canvas LMS Digital Learning Tools (Sep 2026).
