Emergency Operations Plan Completion & Threat Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and has no confirmed mass-notification coverage or HSEEP-style exercise history, creating significant compliance and safety exposure. A critical EOP submission deadline — compounded by an incomplete Active Threat Annex and recent leadership transitions — elevates urgency for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The EOP submission deadline makes this the most time-sensitive initiative in the current planning cycle, and the approved 2026–27 budget includes targeted increases aligned with security and preparedness priorities. Acting now allows new district leadership to establish clear EOP ownership, close documented gaps, and position the district for compliance ahead of the deadline.

Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus collision has elevated transportation safety to an immediate district priority, yet no dash cameras or telematics are currently deployed on the school bus fleet. While a separate solution covers the district's white fleet, school buses remain a critical and unaddressed gap in visibility and driver accountability.
The opportunity
The district's approved 2026–27 budget includes a targeted increase in student transportation funding, creating a directly aligned and active funding pathway. Acting within the current budget cycle addresses an urgent safety gap, reduces liability exposure, and supports the district's stated strategic initiative for fleet-wide telematics adoption.

Cybersecurity · IT Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates, including annual training requirements, while gaps remain in endpoint management and credential security across a Chromebook-heavy, SSO-dependent environment. A newly formalized Help Desk Manager role signals growing operational complexity that current tools and processes may not adequately support.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–27 budget includes targeted increases for security and monitoring, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a state-funded procurement path. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns spending with available funding and reduces compliance and operational risk for students and staff.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an approaching WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline, creating legal exposure and barriers to public access for students, families, and community members with disabilities. A formal website accessibility program has been identified as a strategic priority to close this gap.
The opportunity
The defined WCAG 2.1 compliance timeline makes this a near-term budget priority, and board-approved funds for data processing and IT solutions are already in place. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk and advances equitable digital access for the communities the district serves.
