Modernize Emergency Operations & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Despite a January 2026 EOP update, the district carries an emergency preparedness score of 1 and relies on a fragmented, short-code opt-in notification system. Active NIMS compliance mandates, required EOP review cycles, and a declared December 2025 weather emergency underscore persistent operational risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a funded pathway for emergency communications improvements, and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement despite constrained capital budgets. Acting within the current grant window aligns with the district's top strategic priority and reduces compliance and safety exposure.
Mass Notification System Modernization for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification environment is fragmented, relying on a limited opt-in, short-code system that restricts reliable reach to staff and community members during emergencies. This gap undermines the district's recently updated Emergency Operations Plan and elevates operational and compliance risk under NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
Homeland security grant programs with July 2026 deadlines offer a funded pathway to address this infrastructure gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window aligns with the district's top strategic priority for emergency communications and supports cooperative procurement options already in use.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district carries active WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance obligations for its public-facing web presence, creating ongoing legal exposure and accessibility risk for community members. This initiative is a recognized strategic priority, and operating budget funding for web accessibility is less constrained than capital projects impacted by a recent bond failure.
The opportunity
Compliance obligations are non-discretionary and continuous, making this a near-term, budget-accessible project even under constrained fiscal conditions. The annual budget cycle provides a clear purchasing window, and cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline and accelerate the acquisition process.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented endpoint management and credential security solutions, leaving staff systems and sensitive data exposed to preventable threats. A failed $23.7M bond has constrained capital budgets, limiting near-term investment in technology replacement and security infrastructure.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing pathways can reduce procurement friction and cost, making targeted security improvements achievable within constrained budgets. Aligning action with the upcoming fiscal cycle and incoming Board leadership in early 2026 positions the district to advance cybersecurity as a funded strategic priority.
