From the meeting
Hamilton County urged expansion of the Statewide School Resource Officer Program Grant so school districts can fund school security officers when law enforcement cannot staff school resource officers. The resolution said the current Public School Security Grant is per-pupil and does not fully cover mid- and large-district needs. TSBA took no position.
This signals a funding gap for campus security staffing and future state grant design.

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.
When will Bradford Special School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Bradford Special 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.
