Campus EOP Compliance & Emergency Readiness Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Dallas ISD faces critical gaps in campus Emergency Operations Plans ahead of a hard September 2026 compliance deadline, compounded by a recent fatal on-campus shooting and an ongoing mass-communications platform transition requiring staff retraining. Without immediate action, the district risks non-compliance, degraded incident response capability, and continued safety exposure across its 143,000+ student population.
The opportunity
The voter-approved $6.2 billion Bond 2026 explicitly funds safety and security upgrades, providing a confirmed capital pathway aligned to this project's scope and timeline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures procurement can be completed ahead of the September 2026 deadline, reducing compliance risk and strengthening district-wide emergency response outcomes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Dallas ISD faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline in April 2027 across public-facing digital portals and documents, with non-compliance carrying significant legal and reputational risk for a district serving over 143,000 students. An active document workflow platform transition creates an immediate window to embed accessibility standards into the new environment before technical debt compounds.
The opportunity
The April 2027 compliance deadline and an active platform transition create a narrow, high-leverage window to act. Voter-approved Bond 2026 technology allocations provide dedicated capital, and the district's ongoing accessibility program signals internal readiness to advance this initiative within the current planning cycle.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
Despite existing fleet safety technology, a recent bus collision and internal audit findings—including missing pre/post-trip inspections and rising auto-liability fund balances—signal critical operational gaps. An expiring third-party transportation logistics contract in September 2026 creates both urgency and a procurement window to expand or replace current fleet management capabilities.
The opportunity
Bond 2026 explicitly allocates capital for new buses and transportation improvements, providing a rare, voter-approved funding pathway aligned with this project's scope. Acting within the current procurement cycle addresses documented safety deficiencies, reduces liability exposure, and ensures continuity of student transportation services.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Following a recent cybersecurity incident, the district faces heightened vulnerability across a large student and staff population, with an active compliance mandate for cybersecurity training. Gaps in security tooling—compounded by an expiring enterprise software contract—elevate operational and data protection risk at significant scale.
The opportunity
A newly appointed technology leader and voter-approved capital funding create immediate conditions for prioritizing security modernization within the current planning cycle. Addressing training mandates and tooling gaps now reduces breach risk, supports compliance, and aligns with available bond and cooperative procurement pathways.

IT Modernization · EdTech Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Dallas ISD's 143,000+ student environment and $50M+ annual IT spend demand reliable, scalable endpoint and systems management across a complex campus infrastructure. An expiring enterprise platform contract and incoming technology leadership signal an active window for re-evaluating current tooling before gaps widen.
The opportunity
Bond 2026's voter-approved capital explicitly funds student technology and campus modernization, creating a rare, time-aligned funding pathway for this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to leverage cooperative procurement vehicles and avoid operational risk from aging, unsupported systems.
