Emergency Operations Plan Development & Management
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a dedicated mass-notification system, relying instead on county-level alerts. Policy 3402 mandates a defined EOP review cycle, and these unresolved gaps present significant compliance, safety, and operational risk.
The opportunity
The incoming Superintendent and an approved 2026–2027 budget create a timely procurement window, while active grant cycles—including EMPG and HSGP—offer funding pathways with deadlines in 2026. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens district-wide safety outcomes.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented mass-notification system, creating a critical gap in its ability to alert staff and community members during emergencies. This deficiency, alongside the absence of a formal EOP and dedicated EM Coordinator, represents a significant compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The 2026-2027 budget is approved and grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP align directly with emergency preparedness investments, creating a near-term funding pathway. Acting now addresses documented compliance mandates, closes a critical safety gap, and positions the district ahead of upcoming grant deadlines.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
A recent van incident settlement has exposed a clear liability and safety gap, with no confirmed dash-camera or telematics systems currently in place. Even for a small fleet, the incident history demonstrates real risk to student safety and ongoing exposure to future claims.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget and incoming district leadership create a near-term procurement window, while grants including EMPG, BRIC, and COPS TEP—with 2026 deadlines—can help fund fleet safety solutions. Acting now reduces liability exposure and strengthens the district's duty of care for student transportation.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has an identified gap in WCAG 2.1 website accessibility compliance, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Without remediation, the district risks penalties and fails to meet federal accessibility mandates for digital public services.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget creates an active funding window, and a pending grant application signals additional support for digital compliance efforts. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances equitable access, and aligns procurement with the current fiscal cycle.
