Emergency Operations Plan & Campus Vulnerability Assessment
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces documented emergency preparedness gaps—including an accidental lockdown alert, recurring flood exposure, and a recent Chief of Police vacancy—that elevate risk to students and staff. Texas mandates a multihazard EOP and a safety and security audit due September 15, 2026, and both the EOP and vulnerability assessment have received formal board approval.
The opportunity
Budget approval secured on August 26, 2026 opens an immediate procurement window ahead of the state audit deadline, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to accelerate acquisition. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance, reduces operational risk, and strengthens campus safety outcomes before the mandated deadline.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must bring all public-facing digital properties into conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards under a federal Title II mandate, with a firm deadline of April 26, 2028. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and risks excluding community members—including those with disabilities—from essential district information and services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined window for phased remediation planning, making early action strategically and fiscally sound. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can accelerate procurement, and aligning this effort with the current budget cycle supports cost-effective, sustainable compliance.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's current IT environment presents measurable gaps in endpoint management and credential security, exposing student and staff data across a manageable but real attack surface. The dedicated "Security and Monitoring Services" budget line signals institutional awareness, yet gaps remain unaddressed amid a recent leadership transition.
The opportunity
The K–12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a no-cost service pathway, significantly lowering financial barriers during a constrained budget cycle. With a new superintendent in place and the 2026–2027 budget approved, this is an actionable window to advance cybersecurity outcomes using existing budget authority and cooperative procurement vehicles.

Discuss this project →Closing the Fleet Telematics Safety Gap
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district's recent bus camera investment lacks full telematics integration, leaving gaps in real-time fleet visibility, driver behavior monitoring, and proactive safety oversight. Rising insurance costs and recurring maintenance demands underscore the operational and financial risk of an incomplete transportation safety solution.
The opportunity
Expanding on existing camera infrastructure minimizes new procurement complexity, and cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can accelerate acquisition within informal quote thresholds. Addressing telematics now supports cost containment, strengthens student safety outcomes, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
