EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Overhaul
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces urgent compliance mandates under Texas Education Code §37.108 and S.B. 57, with an active safety and security audit currently in progress. Critical gaps in EOP document control, mass-notification governance, and post-incident assurance—compounded by a recent county-wide disaster—elevate risk to students, staff, and community.
The opportunity
A voter-approved bond package and a $400k+ increase in the Security & Monitoring budget provide immediate, accessible funding pathways aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now addresses active audit findings, satisfies state compliance deadlines, and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness before the next review period.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass-notification environment is fragmented across overlapping platforms, creating governance gaps and inconsistent emergency communication. Active state safety and security audit requirements under Texas Education Code §37.108 and S.B. 57 elevate the compliance and operational risk of inaction.
The opportunity
A voter-approved bond package and a Security & Monitoring budget increase of over $400K provide immediate, identified funding for this initiative. Consolidating now reduces audit exposure, strengthens EOP compliance, and improves crisis response outcomes for students and staff ahead of the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Endpoint Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district is subject to Texas Education Code §11.175 cybersecurity policy mandates, requiring stronger infrastructure to protect student and staff data. A board-approved districtwide device replacement initiative and $2 million technology bond signal readiness, but compliance gaps and endpoint vulnerabilities remain an active operational risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K–12 Cybersecurity Initiative grant offers a state-funded procurement path, reducing local budget burden, while the approved technology bond and increased Data Processing Services budget provide additional near-term capacity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns spending with compliance deadlines and district-approved strategic priorities.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Modernization Through Telematics and Camera Integration
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has a documented history of bus collisions and currently lacks dash cameras and driver telematics, limiting incident documentation and preventive oversight. An aging fleet is already driving a strategic bus replacement initiative, creating a timely integration point for safety technology alongside an existing fleet management platform.
The opportunity
Fleet modernization is an active, board-level priority, and cooperative purchasing contracts are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Addressing telematics and camera gaps now aligns with the replacement cycle, strengthens student safety outcomes, and supports responsible stewardship of transportation funds.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an approaching WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline for accessible digital content and web properties, creating an emerging obligation that current tools do not fully address. Without proactive planning, the district risks non-compliance and inequitable access to digital resources for students, staff, and community members.
The opportunity
The Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment provides approximately $566k in available funding that may be applied toward accessible digital content solutions. Acting within the current planning cycle allows the district to align compliance readiness with existing budget authority and avoid costlier remediation later.
