EOP Modernization and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district carries an overdue multihazard Emergency Operations Plan and a documented record of ineffective radio communication during incidents, producing a high emergency preparedness gap. Existing mass notification and incident response tools operate as disconnected point solutions, leaving staff and students exposed during critical events.
The opportunity
Dedicated 2026–27 budget appropriations of $4.7M for security and monitoring, combined with a new CTO and active EOP compliance mandates, create a clear near-term window for action. A phased consolidation approach leverages existing infrastructure investment while closing documented safety and compliance gaps before the next audit cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's digital properties carry legal and accessibility risk as it works toward mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2028. Current content creation tools are in use but not configured for accessibility remediation, leaving gaps that affect equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined, time-sensitive window to act before legal and reputational exposure increases. An interactive online learning grant may offer adjacent funding alignment, and the current fiscal cycle supports scoping and procurement ahead of formal bid thresholds.

Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a large, high-mileage fleet with existing telematics and bus badge programs, but lacks dash cameras and video-based driver behavior monitoring. This gap creates measurable safety and liability exposure under Texas SB 546 fleet compliance requirements given the fleet's scale and daily student ridership.
The opportunity
With $9.1M appropriated for student transportation in the 2026-27 budget and long-term bus replacement planning underway, this is an optimal window to phase in video telematics as part of a broader modernization strategy. Addressing capability gaps now strengthens driver accountability, reduces liability risk, and aligns with dedicated funding already in place.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district is advancing IT and cybersecurity modernization through bond-funded fiber, digital infrastructure upgrades, and data processing improvements, with a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement renewal approaching in June 2027. Gaps in endpoint management and credential security present operational and compliance risk across a large district serving nearly 25,000 students.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative grant directly funds managed endpoint detection, response, and software deployment, reducing local cost burden. Dedicated 2026-27 budget appropriations of $6.9M for data processing and $26–27M in bond savings for network infrastructure signal a near-term window to act ahead of the June 2027 renewal catalyst.
