From the meeting
On July 20, 2026 the superintendent recommended Open Gate metal detectors at $22,000 per set of towers and said the board would need to decide screening scope and detection level. This was still a planning discussion, not an award. The source is a strong pre-RFP signal for school safety equipment and public messaging work.

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.
