Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Infrastructure
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has critical gaps in its Emergency Operations Plan, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and network and phone systems that failed during a March 2026 electrical outage—directly causing a school closure. These deficiencies create measurable compliance and operational risk, with annual drill reporting mandates currently unmet.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), with a July 2026 deadline, explicitly covers emergency communications and mass-notification equipment, offering a near-term funding path with limited local match. The district's active 2024 bond program further supports capital investment, making this an urgent and well-funded window to close preparedness gaps.
Fleet Safety & Transportation Technology Modernization
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
A school bus crash in April 2025 drew media attention and prompted board-level discussions about upgrading bus camera capabilities, including audio, as recently as July 2026. The district's 2024 bond program allocates capital for transportation and warehouse facility improvements, but technology gaps in fleet safety monitoring remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Bond funding is active with procurement windows open through 2027–2029, and FY2026–2027 requisitions began July 1, 2026, creating an immediate pathway to act. Addressing fleet safety technology now reduces liability exposure, responds to board and community scrutiny, and aligns capital investment with student safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented IT ecosystem across multiple platforms, creating credential management gaps and elevated security risk. A compliance mandate under WRESA's reasonable security measures requirement, combined with a vacant Technology Services role, underscores the urgency for automated, centralized security tooling.
The opportunity
The 2024 bond program explicitly funds IT and cybersecurity modernization, and the HSGP grant offers an additional pathway for eligible cybersecurity purchases ahead of its July 2026 deadline. Consolidating now reduces operational risk, addresses compliance, and aligns with active procurement windows through the current bond cycle.
Modernizing Endpoint Management Across a Fragmented IT Ecosystem
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented environment of multiple point products alongside externally provided IT services, creating gaps in endpoint visibility and administrative control. An open Technology Services staffing vacancy compounds the risk, leaving device and system oversight potentially under-resourced during a period of active technology investment.
The opportunity
The district's 2024 bond program includes an IT and cybersecurity modernization component with active procurement windows running through 2027–2029 and requisition approvals beginning July 1, 2026, creating a near-term funding pathway. Addressing endpoint management now reduces operational risk, supports cybersecurity compliance requirements, and aligns with the current capital spending cycle.
