Unify District-Wide Emergency Communications & EOP Governance
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates fragmented mass notification systems across campuses with no unified platform, no formal external agency agreements, and an EOP overdue for review. The August 2026 water emergency exposed critical gaps in multi-campus incident communications, elevating safety and compliance risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Expanding campus safety infrastructure and active bond-funded capital improvements create a timely funding pathway to close emergency preparedness gaps this fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place, significantly reducing procurement lead time and enabling faster implementation to protect students, staff, and operational continuity.

Fleet Safety · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
52 district buses require retrofit or replacement to meet SB 546 seat belt mandates, representing a $6.3M unfunded obligation with a hard regulatory deadline. Existing fleet systems lack the analytics and driver behavior monitoring needed to proactively manage student safety and prevent incidents.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $154.5M bond and $5.5M in unprojected revenue offer viable funding pathways for this compliance requirement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens student safety outcomes, and leverages established cooperative purchasing agreements to streamline procurement.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a mixed Google and Microsoft environment with no documented enterprise credential governance solution, leaving identity security gaps across staff and systems. Cybersecurity mandates are only partially addressed, elevating risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and audit findings affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
A new technology leader onboarded in early 2025 creates a timely opening to reassess credential management practices and align with current cybersecurity compliance expectations. The district's established cooperative purchasing agreements and active IT budget support a streamlined path to implementation within the current fiscal cycle.

Website Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's website accessibility compliance status is unverified, creating unaddressed legal and regulatory exposure. An active initiative to launch a new district website, chatbot, and parent mobile app amplifies the risk if accessibility standards are not embedded from the outset.
The opportunity
Two identified grant opportunities — through TEA and a local Education Foundation — include conditional funding for accessibility-supporting software, offering a viable cost pathway. Acting during the current website modernization cycle avoids costly retrofits and aligns with fiscal-year planning and compliance timelines.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The district's outsourced SCCM management and mixed IT environment create gaps in unified endpoint visibility, control, and security posture. With a confirmed August 31, 2026 technology renewal cycle and a $3.17M annual IT spend, unaddressed infrastructure gaps carry growing operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The August 2026 renewal window and the district's active modernization trajectory under new technology leadership create a near-term procurement opportunity aligned with current fiscal planning. Consolidating endpoint management now reduces operational risk, improves IT efficiency, and supports responsible stewardship of public technology funds.

Campus Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has $154.5M in voter-approved bond funding designated for campus safety and technology improvements, with safety technology deployment already underway across campuses. However, critical gaps remain: no unified district-wide mass notification platform, an EOP overdue for review, and no formal external agency agreements — gaps made visible by a recent multi-campus water emergency.
The opportunity
Approved bond capital and an active technology deployment cycle create a rare, time-aligned window to close emergency communications and preparedness gaps before the next fiscal planning period. Acting now ensures compliance with emergency management mandates, strengthens district-wide incident response, and maximizes the impact of already-committed public funds.
