EOP Compliance & Emergency Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
Brownwood ISD has documented emergency notification failures—including a wrong-school lockdown alert—and an unverified EOP approval status, creating serious safety and compliance risk. Texas Education Code §37.108 mandates a current EOP and comprehensive safety audits, and full-scale exercises have surfaced unresolved protocol gaps.
The opportunity
The district's adopted 2026–27 budget includes a $346,394 Security and Monitoring allocation, and bond-funded campus safety modernization is already underway—signaling procurement readiness now. Addressing EOP compliance and notification reliability protects students and staff while aligning with active funding and state mandate timelines.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district is expanding 1:1 devices and onboarding to a regional Security Operations Center, but lacks identified endpoint management tooling—creating visibility and compliance gaps across a growing device fleet. Cybersecurity mandates are active, and the Microsoft 365 environment requires coordinated endpoint protection to reduce operational and data security risk.
The opportunity
An active E-Rate FY2026 RFP and an adopted 2026-27 budget with over $1.5M allocated across Data Processing and Security and Monitoring create immediate, approved funding pathways. The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers an additional grant avenue aligned to this scope. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes funding alignment and supports SOC readiness for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Program
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Brownwood ISD is working toward WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance ahead of a hard April 2027 federal deadline, with gaps remaining in document and digital content accessibility. Unresolved conformance gaps carry legal and regulatory exposure that directly affects equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The defined April 2027 deadline creates a clear and urgent procurement window within the current fiscal cycle, and the district's adopted 2026–27 budget signals available funding. Acting now through cooperative purchasing allows the district to close compliance gaps systematically while protecting public trust and avoiding enforcement risk.

Campus Safety · Emergency Preparedness
High Priority
About this project
The district is executing a bond-funded initiative to modernize campus surveillance, controlled access, emergency communication, and emergency mapping, while completing full implementation of visitor identification management and standardized drill procedures. Documented alert failures and an unresolved EOP status create compliance risk under Texas Education Code §37.108 and elevate safety exposure for students and staff.
The opportunity
Bond funding is already secured and the 2026–27 budget includes approved allocations for security and monitoring, reducing financial barriers to immediate action. Advancing procurement now aligns with active EOP compliance mandates, ongoing safety audit requirements, and cooperative purchasing pathways that streamline acquisition.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district's 12-route-bus fleet currently lacks dash-cams, telematics, and automated driver-safety monitoring, creating an evidence and accountability gap. Without these tools, the district faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to document or respond to safety incidents proactively.
The opportunity
The district's newly adopted 2026–27 budget includes allocations for Security and Monitoring, and cooperative purchasing availability offers a streamlined procurement path. Addressing this gap now positions the district ahead of the next budget cycle while reducing preventable liability risk.
