Unified Emergency Operations Plan & Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Longview ISD faces a September 2026 EOP submission deadline and an active three-year safety and security audit, with identified gaps in mass notification, HSEEP-style exercises, and federal school-safety grant confirmation. The phased launch of a new district police department and an aging phone system replacement further elevate the urgency for unified emergency management and communication infrastructure.
The opportunity
Non-negotiable compliance deadlines, a newly appointed Director of Safety and Security, and funded strategic initiatives create a narrow window for near-term action aligned with the current fiscal cycle. State and federal school-safety funding pathways are available, and cooperative purchasing agreements support streamlined procurement.
Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Longview ISD faces a hard April 2027 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing digital portals and instructional materials. Gaps in accessible content delivery create legal exposure and limit equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
The $1.45M Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment (IMTA) for 2026–27 and the Interactive Online Learning Grant (deadline September 2026) provide near-term, designated funding. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes grant alignment and ensures compliance well ahead of the April 2027 regulatory deadline.
Fleet Safety & Transportation Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two bus accidents within the past year—including one involving special-education students—have elevated public scrutiny and exposed fleet safety gaps. The district's existing telematics investment signals readiness to modernize, but current capabilities may not fully support the safety, oversight, and operational demands of a growing transportation program.
The opportunity
A $7.6M bond-funded Transportation Center and the Clean Bus Electrification Project provide clear, time-bound funding pathways for fleet modernization. New safety leadership and upcoming infrastructure milestones make this an ideal window to strengthen oversight, reduce incident risk, and align transportation operations with district safety commitments.
Strengthening Endpoint and Cybersecurity Posture District-Wide
Cybersecurity · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an active cybersecurity policy requirement but has no confirmed password management, endpoint management, or SIEM tools in place, leaving critical gaps across a growing device footprint. A 1:1 Chromebook deployment and existing Lenovo devices expand exposure, while ClassLink and Skyward integrations underscore the need for identity and credential security controls.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers an active, state-funded path with rolling deadlines to address these gaps with limited local match required. With new technology leadership in place as of April 2026, this is an ideal moment to establish a baseline cybersecurity framework aligned with district policy and the upcoming fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Instructional Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district has approved $871K for districtwide instructional technology and is expanding to a 1:1 Chromebook program, with deployment targeted for July 2026. The growing device fleet lacks a named endpoint management solution, creating an operational gap that increases IT risk and limits scalability as devices proliferate across campuses.
The opportunity
The July 2026 deployment deadline and fully allocated instructional technology budget create a defined, near-term procurement window. New technology leadership, active cooperative purchasing agreements, and alignment with the current fiscal cycle position the district to act decisively and ensure day-one manageability of its expanded device fleet.
