From the meeting
Ben Daugherty, Director of Technology, presented a regional feasibility study for St. Joseph County ISD, Heritage Southwest, KRESA, Allegan and Van Buren to collaborate on cybersecurity and engineering services. Board members asked about artificial intelligence, possible elimination of Federal E-rate funding, staffing, and district support.
The study was received as an update, not a procurement. It signals future regional IT and cybersecurity planning tied to funding uncertainty.

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.
