The 30-second brief
5 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Big Sur Charter District's meetings, most in grants and communications. The latest, from Sep 24: At its August 27, 2026 meeting, the board packet included a Relay Solution quote for campus and field-trip communications. The email said Big Sur Charter School had discussed replacing unreliable walkie-talkies and cell-phone-only communication with a secure, interference-free system with panic alerts, GPS tracking, and one-to-one calling. The quote and Fleet Shield were attached, so the school was still reviewing the proposal rather than having awarded it.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Grants and Education & Training.
