On this week's episode, hosts Josh, Chris, and Mark discuss the Dept of Education's proposed budget and what the cuts could mean for K-12 education. Many of the programs may seem distant from our world but the trickle-down effects could be felt immediately for many districts.
We also dive into some additional changes at the FCC as well as MS-ISAC, as districts are learning that some services will now have an annual fee.
Our main topic this week is the RFP process - the good, the bad, and the ugly side of RFPs as well as how you can improve your RFPs with 5 simple tips. We break down our recommendations for your next RFP into this simple template that you can use to create a proposal that your vendors will want to respond to!
