From the meeting
At its September 29, 2026 meeting, the board discussed supporting a public comment letter to the FCC on proposed changes to the E-Rate program. Library Director Amy Agro said the federal E-Rate program reduced the library's internet cost by $3,000 last year, and the FCC proposal could discontinue the program entirely. The comment deadline was October 13, 2026, making this a live policy and funding risk tied to library telecom costs.

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.
