Emergency Communications Center Infrastructure & Dispatch Console Modernization
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district has approved funding for ECC infrastructure ($2.4M) and mission-critical 9-1-1 systems ($897.5K), alongside identified technology and facility lifecycle risks flagged through the Regional Resiliency Assessment Program. The absence of a current public Emergency Operations Plan further elevates operational and continuity risk for the communities served.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget, effective October 2026, is approved and capital allocations are in place, creating an immediate and time-sensitive procurement window. HSGP and EMPG grant programs offer additional funding pathways, and acting ahead of the fiscal year start ensures continuity of mission-critical 9-1-1 services and strengthens regional emergency resilience.
Secondary Emergency Communications Center & Contingency Communications Expansion
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved initiative to establish a secondary mental-health Emergency Communications Center and expand contingency communications capabilities addresses critical gaps in redundancy and continuity. RRAP recommendations for annual disaster-recovery exercises and improved power resilience remain unmet, elevating operational and public-safety risk.
The opportunity
This project is fully funded in the approved FY2027 budget, with the fiscal year beginning October 2026, creating a defined and near-term procurement window. HSGP and EMPG grant programs offer additional eligible funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing mechanisms are already in place to streamline acquisition. Acting now ensures alignment with RRAP compliance recommendations and strengthens regional emergency response continuity.
Emergency Operations Plan & Resilience Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available current Emergency Operations Plan, and outstanding RRAP recommendations for annual disaster-recovery exercises and improved power resilience remain unaddressed. Active technology and facility lifecycle risks compound these gaps, elevating operational and compliance exposure for the communities served.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget allocations for emergency communications and infrastructure are approved and active, and HSGP/EMPG grant programs offer aligned funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Addressing EOP and resilience gaps now reduces compliance risk and strengthens continuity of critical public safety services.
IT Infrastructure Lifecycle Modernization & Cybersecurity Enhancement
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has $152.5K in FY2027 capital budget approved for IT infrastructure lifecycle modernization, alongside rising recurring cybersecurity costs and fragmented administrative tooling. A newly appointed Director of Networking and Cybersecurity Operations is driving a leadership-led review of existing systems and security posture.
The opportunity
With FY2027 funding approved and the BJA JAG grant offering an additional pathway, the current fiscal window is ideal for advancing modernization and cybersecurity investments. Acting now aligns with new leadership priorities, reduces operational risk from aging infrastructure, and positions the district for long-term resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing digital assets by April 2028, a federal mandate with real consequences for equitable public access. Unresolved gaps in web portals and documents create legal exposure and risk excluding residents with disabilities from critical services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline anchors FY2027 planning cycles, making now the optimal window to scope, fund, and execute remediation before urgency compresses timelines. Cooperative purchasing contracts are already in use, enabling faster procurement, and this effort is eligible for alignment with existing IT modernization budget allocations.

GIS & Spatial Data · Emergency Preparedness
High Priority
About this project
The district's emergency response workflow currently relies on static, PDF-based school floor plans that lack interoperability with the GIS system, creating critical gaps in situational awareness during incidents. This limits first responders' ability to access accurate, real-time spatial data when it matters most.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved within the FY2027 cycle beginning October 2026, providing a clear and immediate funding pathway with high implementation confidence. Acting now aligns with broader emergency communications priorities and may qualify for state and federal preparedness grant support.
