From the meeting
The FY28 budget discussion said E-rate funding was at risk and that it pays for 80% of internet connectivity and internet-related hardware costs. That creates a live planning signal for network refreshes, connectivity spend, and hardware replacement needs. The district has not selected a procurement path yet, but the funding exposure is already shaping FY28 budget choices.

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 Talbot County 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.
