THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Batesville School District wellness policy section emphasizes creating healthy and safe environments, using the CDC’s School Health Index to generate annual plans, and performing triennial progress assessments. It also calls for regular communication about school meals, child nutrition program availability (including free/reduced applications), and the continuation of “Friday Friend” food bags for students needing weekend nutrition support.
While core nutrition services are likely covered under existing food service contracts, the described work suggests ongoing needs for health education materials, wellness programming, communication tools, and potentially partnerships with community organizations to support food security. Vendors and nonprofits specializing in school wellness curricula, health communication, or backpack food programs can approach district and school administrators to explore collaboration on School Health Index action items and enhancements to the Friday Friend initiative.
Communication methods include email, district website, ParentSquare (elementary), health fairs, parent presentations, and paper notices, with an emphasis on culturally and linguistically appropriate outreach.

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.
