From the meeting
The agenda showed a new board policy on artificial intelligence (AI) among the district policy revisions under review. The packet did not show a purchase or vendor selection, but it does signal that the district is shaping AI governance and likely needs guidance on acceptable use, controls, and implementation standards. The item was only listed for second reading and review on October 21, 2026.
That makes it a policy-stage lead rather than a procurement award.

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.
