Strengthen Emergency Mass Notification and Dispatch Reliability
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent lockdown incident exposed a critical 10-minute delay in police dispatch caused by communication failures and an unmonitored master tablet, with no mass-notification system in place. The district faces NIMS/EOP review compliance mandates and risks losing preparedness funding if gaps are not addressed.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including BRIC and HSGP provide direct funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can expedite procurement within the current 90-day window. Acting now reduces safety liability, restores compliance standing, and protects students, staff, and the district's access to preparedness funds.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active compliance mandates tied to its Acceptable Use Policy, with identified gaps in endpoint management and credential security. A planned Windows 11 migration and authentication policy enforcement underscore the urgency of modernizing cybersecurity infrastructure before vulnerabilities widen.
The opportunity
SLCGP grant funding provides a direct pathway to address cybersecurity gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the district's IT modernization initiative and helps protect critical systems as ESSER fund balances wind down.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active WCAG/ADA compliance mandate for its public-facing website, with an existing accessibility statement indicating work is underway but incomplete. Gaps in digital accessibility expose the district to legal liability and limit equitable access to information for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility compliance now reduces legal and reputational risk before gaps escalate to formal complaints or litigation. This initiative aligns with the district's stated strategic goal of enhancing its website and can be structured within current IT modernization planning and procurement vehicles.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks telematics and dashcam coverage across its school transportation fleet, creating liability exposure and visibility gaps. Open leadership positions in transportation and operations, combined with no formal vehicle purchasing or replacement plan, signal an active and unaddressed fleet management gap.
The opportunity
Incoming transportation and operations leadership creates a near-term window to establish fleet oversight and a vehicle lifecycle plan as a stated strategic initiative. Addressing this now supports student safety, reduces liability risk, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle where Sourcewell cooperative purchasing may simplify procurement.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified password and authentication policy enforcement as a strategic priority but lacks a dedicated identity management solution, creating a measurable security gap. With cybersecurity compliance mandates in place and Google Workspace broadly in use, unmanaged credential risk exposes staff, students, and district data.
The opportunity
SLCGP grant funding provides a direct and accessible path to address this initiative with limited impact on a constrained general fund. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns with the district's stated IT modernization goals and reduces compliance and breach risk ahead of the next fiscal year.
IT Systems Consolidation and Remote Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented IT environment with multiple specialized tools and no centralized endpoint or remote management capability. The ongoing Windows 11 migration and district-wide modernization initiative expose operational gaps that increase support burden and security risk across staff and student systems.
The opportunity
Active procurement cycles and a stated IT modernization priority signal readiness to act, and security-adjacent components may qualify for SLCGP funding. Consolidating systems now reduces long-term costs, simplifies administration, and aligns with the current fiscal planning window.
