Emergency Operations Plan & School Security Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces documented emergency preparedness gaps — including an EOP of unknown age, unverified mass notification capabilities, and a major disaster declaration lacking an after-action review — alongside mandated safety plan updates and annual security assessments due by 2026. These deficiencies create compounding compliance and operational risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
An $80K grant allocation designated for FY2026 school security modernization creates a funded, near-term pathway to address compliance mandates with a 90-day decision window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures alignment with the 2026 deadline while maximizing available grant dollars before the window closes.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Crockett County Schools lacks verified, modern mass notification capabilities, representing a documented emergency preparedness gap. With a recent major disaster declaration and no after-action review on record, the district's ability to communicate effectively during incidents remains unconfirmed and operationally at risk.
The opportunity
A 2026 emergency management compliance deadline and an active $80k school security modernization grant create a time-sensitive window to address notification gaps alongside broader safety planning. Acting now aligns with the current fiscal cycle, supports compliance, and strengthens district-wide incident response for students and staff.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Crockett County Schools is required to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by 2028, yet no documented remediation steps have been taken. With public-facing digital assets managed through a third-party platform, unaddressed gaps create legal exposure and equity risk for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a viable window for phased implementation aligned with upcoming fiscal planning cycles, avoiding costly emergency remediation later. Early action supports equitable access to district communications and positions the district ahead of enforcement risk.
Strengthening Student Transportation Safety Technology
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A widely reported near-miss involving a school bus has exposed gaps in driver behavior monitoring and real-time incident response for the district. Without confirmed fleet safety technology in place, students remain at risk and the district faces growing public and reputational pressure to act.
The opportunity
The visibility of this safety incident has created leadership and community urgency that can accelerate budget prioritization within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this gap now supports student safety outcomes, demonstrates responsible stewardship, and positions the district ahead of potential regulatory scrutiny.
Strengthen Endpoint Management and Identity Security Controls
IT Governance · Cybersecurity & Identity
High Priority
About this project
A FY2025 audit finding revealed the district failed to solicit competitive bids for computer purchases, exposing gaps in procurement controls and IT governance. With Office 365 deployed district-wide, unmanaged endpoints and weak identity controls present compounding cybersecurity risk to student data and operations.
The opportunity
An active ESSER-funded technology improvement initiative offers a near-term budget pathway to address endpoint management and identity security gaps before funds expire. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces audit recurrence risk and strengthens the district's security posture ahead of upcoming compliance reviews.
