The 30-second brief
12 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Oakland Schools's meetings, most in information technology and education & training. The latest, from Oct 20: The board was scheduled to consider an intergovernmental agreement with Pontiac School District for the provision of special education service providers. This is a live services delivery item, but the agenda does not name a dollar value or vendor. The decision was pending the October 20, 2026 vote, so the key next conversation is about scope, staffing, and any renewal or staffing coverage needs.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Information Technology and Education & Training.
