Emergency Operations Plan Development and Preparedness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan, has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and no documented formal exercises. The existing COVID-19 plan is six years old, a state-mandated 4-year EOP review is overdue, and recent local flooding events underscore the real-world risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
A time-bound compliance mandate, combined with increased per-pupil state funding and a recently awarded infrastructure grant, creates a strong near-term window to close critical preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to meet regulatory requirements and meaningfully reduce operational and safety risk.

Emergency Management · Unified Communications
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification system is aging and fragmented, creating gaps in timely, reliable communication during emergencies—a critical concern given recent local flooding incidents and an overdue Emergency Operations Plan. Consolidating communications into a unified platform addresses both operational risk and compliance mandates tied to EOP review cycles.
The opportunity
With a fiscal year ending June 30 and active budget cycles supported by increased per-pupil state funding, the district is well-positioned to act now. Modernizing mass notification and unified communications strengthens emergency preparedness, supports EOP compliance, and aligns with the district's demonstrated willingness to invest in technology—eligible through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell.

Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an in-house bus fleet with existing onboard video, but aging vehicles and reported safety incidents present growing operational risk. Without updated fleet management tools, the district faces continued exposure to student safety gaps and deferred maintenance liability.
The opportunity
The district's active fiscal cycle, cooperative purchasing relationships (including Sourcewell), and demonstrated willingness to invest in technology create a practical pathway to act now. Structuring this initiative through cooperative contracts reduces procurement burden and supports responsible stewardship of public funds.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has student password policies in place and relies on Google Workspace, but lacks formalized credential management practices across the organization. An in-progress Acceptable Use Policy update signals readiness to close cybersecurity gaps that elevate data privacy and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active budget cycles, increased per-pupil state funding, and a current policy modernization effort create a timely window to advance cybersecurity standards. Formalizing credential management now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and aligns with the district's ongoing technology investment priorities.

ADA Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has ongoing Title II/ADA obligations for public-facing digital portals, and current compliance gaps create legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for residents and families. Unresolved accessibility deficiencies in web-based communications elevate risk of complaints, audits, and exclusion of users with disabilities.
The opportunity
ADA compliance obligations are non-discretionary and continuous, making this a priority that aligns with any fiscal planning cycle and supports responsible stewardship of public trust. Addressing gaps now reduces legal risk, improves community access, and may be staged to fit available budget or cooperative purchasing agreements.
