From the meeting
At its September 15, 2026 special meeting, the board heard that the Forrest City Police Department could not fulfill the security contract and that there was no security at any schools that morning. Dr. Bowles contacted the previous security company and restored coverage in all buildings by 10:00 AM.
He said he will look into other security companies, insurance costs, and the process for 1099 employees. The contract situation is still open and the district needs a stable security solution for schools and games.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Forrest City School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
