From the meeting
At its August 20, 2026 meeting, Giddings ISD approved a good-cause exception for armed security officers under House Bill 3. The resolution says the district lacks funding to create a police department or contract for more officers, and may later contract with the Lee County Sheriff's Department or Giddings Police Department if funding becomes available. The immediate decision is complete, but the staffing gap remains a live security buying trigger.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
