From the meeting
Colonial said special education tuition costs were growing by more than $1 million and that it needed to generate an additional $4 million for FY 27. The district planned to use $3 million of excess operating revenue from FY 2026 to offset most of the need. This points to continued pressure around tuition-funded special education placements and related program costs.

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.
