Student Transportation Safety & Fleet Compliance
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recent bus crash resulting in 12 hospitalizations and 23 identified seatbelt-deficient buses expose the district to significant safety and liability risk. Limited incident documentation from outsourced transportation operations further reduces accountability and complicates compliance ahead of the 2029 seatbelt mandate.
The opportunity
A $281K budget increase in Student Transportation and an active procurement vehicle create an immediate, low-friction path to action. Addressing fleet visibility and safety now meets the 2029 compliance deadline, reduces liability exposure, and strengthens stewardship of public funds.
Strengthen School Safety & Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan has an unconfirmed review status, a recent intruder-detection audit failed, and a county wildfire disaster declaration has elevated threat exposure. Split communication systems, active safety-audit remediation requirements, and statutory EOP review mandates compound operational and compliance risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A dedicated budget increase in Security and Monitoring, bond program funding, and an active School Safety and Security Committee signal institutional readiness to act. Addressing EOP gaps and communication consolidation now aligns with compliance deadlines, reduces audit liability, and strengthens safety outcomes for nearly 12,000 students.
Strengthen District Endpoint Security and Device Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A rapidly expanding student device footprint—driven by active 1:1 and connected-learning initiatives—has outpaced centralized endpoint management, software deployment, and threat detection capabilities. Cybersecurity mandates at the district level, combined with a broader IT infrastructure review triggered by an expiring WAN contract, elevate operational and compliance risk across the technology environment.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative grant represents a directly applicable funding pathway for endpoint management and EDR capabilities, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. With new district leadership actively evaluating the full technology stack, this is a timely moment to close security gaps and strengthen stewardship of the district's $3.6M+ annual IT investment.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates under active cybersecurity mandates, and early signals—including a student password reset incident—suggest potential gaps in credential and identity management. Without structured controls, unauthorized access to student and staff accounts poses data privacy and compliance risks.
The opportunity
An ongoing security review cycle and new district leadership create a receptive environment for addressing credential management as part of a broader security posture. The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a relevant funding pathway, and acting within the current planning cycle supports compliance and reduces identity-related risk.
