From the meeting
RPS requested a $15 million state budget amendment to help school divisions maximize federal broadband funding and address documented connectivity gaps. The priority targets rural and high-fiscal-stress communities and divisions with high LCIs and significant student economic disadvantage. This is a clear pre-procurement signal for network, connectivity, and grant-support work.

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 Richmond City Public Schools issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Richmond City Public Schools's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
