Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, HSEEP-compliant exercises, and After Action Reviews, while mass-notification readiness remains unverified. These gaps present direct compliance and operational risk, with EOP review identified as a standing mandate and Safety & Security modernization named a top strategic priority.
The opportunity
Upcoming grant windows — including federally aligned emergency management programs with July 2026 deadlines — offer near-term funding paths with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the current budget cycle, a new Superintendent's priorities, and the district's obligation to protect students, staff, and community.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification setup lacks verified reliability for emergency communications at scale, and no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan exists — creating measurable compliance and operational risk. With EOP review mandates overdue and safety modernization identified as a top strategic priority, gaps in district-wide alerting pose direct risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 create an immediate funding window for emergency communications improvements with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the district's active Safety & Security modernization initiative, the recently adopted FY2026–2027 budget cycle, and EOP compliance requirements — strengthening emergency readiness for over 4,600 students and staff.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing website does not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and excluding community members with disabilities from essential information. This gap conflicts with a stated strategic initiative for communications and digital services improvement, elevating both compliance and reputational risk.
The opportunity
With the 2026–2027 budget recently approved and digital services improvement identified as an active priority, conditions are favorable for near-term action. Addressing this now reduces legal liability, advances equitable public access, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district's fleet has experienced a recent vehicle loss due to an accident, and staff have raised concerns about the safety of aging buses. No telematics, dash cameras, or driver monitoring tools are currently in place, leaving students, drivers, and the district exposed to ongoing operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
A recently approved school bus purchase and the 2026–2027 budget signal active capital investment, creating a timely opening to address this gap. Cooperative procurement options available to the district can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden, supporting faster implementation within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Controls & IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's cybersecurity controls are only partially implemented, leaving gaps in security posture that expose student data and district systems to risk. Legacy tooling and a growing Chromebook initiative compound the need for scalable credential and identity management across the organization.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grants with deadlines in July 2026 explicitly support cybersecurity improvements, offering a funded path with limited local match required. The recently adopted 2026–2027 budget confirms active security investment, making this an ideal moment to close control gaps and modernize IT management.
