EOP Compliance & School Safety Resilience
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Texas Education Code mandates multihazard Emergency Operations Plans and safety audits, yet the district has identified gaps in EOP verification and mass-notification governance. Recent severe weather and winter storm emergencies in Bowie County underscore real operational exposure, and the current communications platform lacks a defined emergency-alert configuration.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget cycle and incoming leadership create a timely window to act on a funded, high-priority safety initiative. Title IV federal entitlements for safe school environments and prior COPS School Violence Prevention Program eligibility support potential funding pathways with limited local match required.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 AA mandate requires the district's public-facing web presence to meet federal accessibility standards, creating a high-urgency compliance obligation. Work is already underway but remains incomplete, leaving the district exposed to legal and reputational risk until full conformance is achieved.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline adds immediate urgency, and the district's active website accessibility initiative signals budget alignment and organizational readiness. Prior Perkins V expenditures in this area demonstrate an established funding pathway, and the current FY planning cycle offers a timely window to close remaining gaps and achieve full compliance.

Discuss this project →Enterprise Password Management & Cybersecurity Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks an enterprise password management solution, creating a measurable credential security gap across staff and systems. With an active cybersecurity modernization initiative and increasing reliance on digital infrastructure, unmanaged credentials elevate the risk of unauthorized access and data exposure affecting students, staff, and district operations.
The opportunity
Incoming technology leadership for 2026–2027 creates a timely window to establish credential security standards, supported by a 16.3% increase in the Security and Monitoring budget and potential Title IV federal grant entitlements. Addressing this gap now aligns with the active FY2026 cybersecurity procurement cycle and strengthens the district's overall security posture ahead of the new school year.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & IT Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Instructional Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a dedicated endpoint and IT device management solution, leaving the new Technology Manager without consolidated visibility across the device ecosystem. This gap creates operational and security risk as the district scales its funded digital learning and instructional-technology modernization initiative.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget cycle includes a 16.4% increase in data processing funding and a funded instructional-technology initiative, creating a near-term decision window. Addressing endpoint management now aligns with fiscal planning, supports incoming technology leadership, and may be eligible for federal Title IV or cooperative procurement pathways.
Title IV Safe Schools
Discuss this project →Student Transportation Fleet Monitoring Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a fleet telematics platform, creating gaps in route monitoring and incident documentation for student transportation. With a new Director of Transportation joining for 2026–2027, the absence of preventive monitoring tools represents an unaddressed safety and accountability risk.
The opportunity
The proposed 2026–2027 budget includes a 34.7% increase in student transportation funding, creating a clear fiscal window to address monitoring gaps. Incoming transportation leadership and cooperative purchasing access position the district to act efficiently within the upcoming budget cycle.
