From the meeting
The Arlington School Board supported directing the Virginia Department of Education to review educational technology vendors and share which products are recommended and which are not. The board also backed agility on educational technology and asked that limits focus on vendors, not schools. This is a pre-RFP signal for product review, standards, and future purchasing criteria.
A seller should expect evaluation-driven buying, not an immediate solicitation.
