Strengthen Credential Security After Ransomware Breach
K–12 Cybersecurity · Credential & Identity Management
High Priority
About this project
A March 2026 ransomware attack exposed student and staff personal data, disrupted internet access for nearly a week, and triggered $36,000+ in cyber-insurance-funded recovery costs. The district has no identified enterprise password management platform, leaving a critical credential security gap that elevates ongoing breach and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers rolling-deadline grant funding directly aligned to this need, and solutions under $99,999 qualify for expedited informal procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle converts post-incident momentum into lasting credential hygiene and reduces future exposure for students, staff, and district operations.

K–12 Cybersecurity · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A March 2026 ransomware attack exposed critical gaps in endpoint visibility and device control across the district's fleet, with no incumbent management platform in place. A bond-funded Chromebook procurement exceeding $860K is actively underway, creating an immediate, large-scale need for a scalable endpoint management solution.
The opportunity
Post-ransomware recovery funding is approved, bond dollars are already in motion, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers rolling grant deadlines directly applicable to this effort. Acting within the current procurement window—where informal quotes may apply—reduces cycle time and positions the district to close security gaps before the next school year.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A March 2026 ransomware attack exposed critical gaps in the district's emergency communications infrastructure, disrupting internet access for nearly a week and compromising sensitive data. Multiple disconnected communication systems currently operate without unified coordination, and the district's Emergency Operations Plan cannot be verified as current, elevating incident response risk.
The opportunity
Post-ransomware recovery initiatives are funded and budget-approved, creating immediate readiness to act. Consolidating fragmented systems now strengthens continuity, reduces compliance exposure, and aligns with state cybersecurity grant opportunities carrying rolling deadlines.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline across its public-facing digital portals and services, with failure to comply creating legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and staff. A funded Website & Digital Services modernization initiative is actively underway, making this a timely and operationally supported effort.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates defined, compliance-driven urgency, and the district's budget-approved initiative and $1.19M annual IT spend signal capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and may fall within informal procurement thresholds for a faster path to implementation.
