THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district created a Director of Operations position and transferred Ryan Groat into the role effective July 1, 2026, overseeing facilities and grounds, transportation, and food service. This centralizes operational functions under one administrator following a retirement. Facilities, fleet, routing, cafeteria equipment, and related software and services will now run through a single point, which can drive new planning for maintenance, capital upgrades, and operational systems.
Groat will sit at the Jr.–Sr. High School and supervise facilities, grounds, transportation, and food service.

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.

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