Emergency Operations Plan & Crisis Management Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces documented emergency preparedness gaps—including an unverified EOP review cycle, missing cardiac emergency response plan, and fragmented notification systems—exposed by real incidents including a high school lockdown and an HVAC crisis. A mandatory school safety-and-security audit deadline of September 15, 2026 is an active compliance driver under Texas state requirements.
The opportunity
Bond 2020 Proposition A funds school security modernization now, and a November 2026 bond proposition includes $492M for safety, security, and fleet—creating a near-term funding catalyst aligned with the audit deadline. Consolidating crisis communications and closing EOP gaps before the audit protects students, staff, and the district's compliance standing.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates fragmented notification systems across its schools, creating gaps in unified communication reach and reliability during emergencies. Past incidents have exposed critical communication failures, and an active school safety-and-security audit deadline (September 2026) elevates compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A September 2026 EOP compliance deadline and emergency preparedness mandates create immediate urgency for consolidation. State and federal grant programs, including homeland security and emergency management performance funding, offer eligible pathways, and an upcoming bond proposition includes substantial safety and IT allocations that could support this initiative.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates under active cybersecurity compliance mandates per Texas Education Code §11.175, with a school safety-and-security audit deadline of September 2026. An IT environment exceeding $9.6M in annual spend—spanning endpoint and identity security—faces growing exposure without a unified, compliant controls framework.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a direct funding path, and Bond 2020 Proposition B (through Fall 2026) alongside a proposed $102M IT bond create near-term budget alignment. Acting within the current fiscal window supports audit readiness, reduces compliance risk, and strengthens protection for 44,000+ students and staff.

Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing digital portals by April 26, 2027. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and restricts equitable access for students, parents, and community members across a district of nearly 45,000 students.
The opportunity
The fixed April 2027 deadline creates a defined procurement and remediation window that aligns with current fiscal planning cycles. Beginning scoping now allows sufficient time for testing and validation while leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline procurement.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively pursuing fleet electrification while managing a potentially fragmented transportation technology stack. Without integrated management tools, operational visibility, routing efficiency, and student safety oversight may be inconsistent across the fleet.
The opportunity
A November 2026 bond proposition includes $492M for safety, security, and fleet—creating a significant funding window if approved. Acting now, ahead of the vote, positions the district to align modernization plans with bond priorities and upcoming fiscal cycles.
