Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Boerne ISD's Emergency Operations Plan is more than four years overdue for review, and fragmented mass notification channels have produced documented communication failures during a dual-threat lockdown incident. A Texas School Safety Center submission deadline of October 2, 2025 creates a hard compliance mandate with direct risk to student and staff safety.
The opportunity
The October 2025 deadline places this initiative within an immediate 90-day action window, and the district's newly approved 2026–27 budget includes a 12.55% increase in security appropriations to support it. Addressing the EOP gap now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens first-responder coordination, and protects the district's obligation to student and community safety.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with acknowledged gaps across public-facing digital portals. Current tooling provides only partial coverage, leaving students, families, and staff without equitable access to essential digital content and services.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline creates a near-term, non-negotiable window for assessment, procurement, and staged remediation. The newly approved FY2026–27 budget includes a 6.60% increase in data processing appropriations, providing a viable funding pathway. Acting now allows sufficient lead time to meet compliance, reduce legal exposure, and advance the district's active digital inclusion strategic initiative.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus incident with an undetermined cause drew public scrutiny, exposing gaps in driver behavior monitoring, incident documentation, and fleet oversight. The district's current basic GPS-only infrastructure leaves compliance documentation and safety response underserved as transportation costs and insurance pressures rise.
The opportunity
A fleet contract renewal point of June 30, 2026 creates an immediate procurement window, while the approved 2026–27 budget reflects a 17.80% transportation funding increase—signaling both urgency and available resources to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & IT Systems Unified Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district's endpoint environment spans multiple device types and platforms — including tablets, Chromebooks, and directory services — managed through separate tools with no unified layer, creating policy enforcement gaps and increased IT overhead. The 2024-2027 Technology Plan and Bond 2022 Proposition B both explicitly prioritize device access and endpoint modernization, signaling a compliance and strategic mandate to act.
The opportunity
Approved bond funding and a current technology plan provide capital alignment and strategic cover for endpoint consolidation in the active fiscal cycle. The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative (FY26–FY27) offers a state-funded pathway that may offset costs, reducing reliance on general fund dollars while advancing IT resilience and operational efficiency.
Bond 2022 Proposition B
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Modernization & Credential Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Identity Security
High Priority
About this project
The district's 2024–2027 Technology Plan and Bond 2022 Proposition B identify cybersecurity—including endpoint detection, software deployment, and credential management—as a core priority, yet no unified credential management solution is currently in place. With $3.1M+ in annual IT spend and a 6.60% increase in data processing appropriations, the gap between strategic intent and operational implementation presents measurable security and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative (FY26–FY27) provides a state-funded grant pathway explicitly covering managed endpoint and software deployment, reducing local cost burden. Overlapping bond funding and a newly approved budget with a 12.55% security appropriations increase make this an actionable, well-funded window to close critical cybersecurity gaps.
