From the meeting
House Bill 455 created the prenatal-to-five early childhood to post-secondary regional partnerships program, effective October 9, 2026. The Department of Education and Workforce, with the Department of Higher Education and the Department of Children and Youth, was directed to administer the program and distribute grants to qualifying regional partnerships. The law also required quarterly convening, twice-yearly progress reporting, and annual reporting to the governor and General Assembly.
No dollar amount was stated; the grant framework was established and implementation was assigned to state agencies.

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.
