THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Business Department proposes a year-long AP Cyber Security course for 2026-27 that provides a college-aligned introduction to cyber security, covering risk assessment, threat analysis, and defense across physical, network, device, and data layers. The proposal includes restoring Introduction to Programming and sunsetting C++ Programming, signaling a broader reshaping of the CS pathway. The district will need AP Cyber curriculum, labs, possibly virtual environments, and updated programming resources. Cybersecurity and CS education vendors can engage to provide course content, labs, and teacher training aligned to AP credentials.
AP Cyber Security course is intended to support earning an AP cyber security credential via AP exam.

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