Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fort Bend ISD's Emergency Preparedness Score of 2 reflects critical gaps: the EOP is not publicly verifiable, the recently transitioned mass-notification system has unverified performance, and after-action review for a real incident is limited. Non-compliance with Texas Education Code §37.2071 and §37.108 carries the risk of state conservatorship.
The opportunity
Recent district budget increases for safety and security solutions signal investment readiness, and established purchasing cooperative agreements streamline procurement. Addressing these gaps now reduces conservatorship risk, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
Two school bus-involved accidents within six months, alongside driver-conduct and vehicle-condition complaints, signal critical gaps in fleet oversight and student safety. Current fleet compliance requirements need enhancement, and the absence of robust real-time tracking and evidence preservation capabilities elevates both operational and liability risk for the district.
The opportunity
The district has approved targeted budget increases for school bus purchases and transportation, creating identified funding capacity within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing fleet modernization now reduces recurrence risk, strengthens compliance posture, and supports student safety outcomes before the next budget review window.

Cybersecurity · Student Data Protection
High Priority
About this project
FBISD is managing active cybersecurity grant-funded remediation alongside a recent audit finding tied to intruder detection, creating a clear accountability trigger. A district-wide 1:1 laptop program has significantly expanded the endpoint attack surface, while multiple disparate security tools leave visibility and protection gaps.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides an explicit funding pathway for endpoint protection and security assessments, aligning with the district's current remediation cycle. Acting within this grant window reduces audit exposure, strengthens student data protection, and supports responsible stewardship of the district's technology investment.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Fort Bend ISD's broad technology environment—including a 1:1 laptop program and numerous integrated platforms built on existing Microsoft identity infrastructure—creates significant exposure to credential compromise and unauthorized privileged access. Active cybersecurity remediation efforts and a recent audit finding related to intruder detection underscore the urgency of strengthening identity controls across the district.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative grant represents an active funding window aligned to this project, and incoming district leadership creates a timely opening to re-evaluate and modernize access security posture. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, reduces breach risk, and protects the district's students, staff, and systems.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Fort Bend ISD faces a hard April 26, 2027 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance under ADA obligations, following a recent website migration. Unresolved gaps across public-facing digital portals create legal exposure and limit equitable access for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
The fixed 2027 compliance deadline creates clear, time-bound urgency aligned with current FY planning cycles, and the Interactive Online Learning Grant offers a potential indirect funding pathway for accessible digital content initiatives. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances equity, and positions the district to leverage available cooperative procurement vehicles for faster contracting.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
A large-scale 1:1 laptop program has created a distributed device fleet with fragmented visibility across multiple security tools and inconsistent lifecycle oversight. Gaps in unified patching, monitoring, and service delivery elevate operational and cybersecurity risk across the district.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget increases for IT service management confirm allocated investment, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a funding pathway aligned to this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle enables the district to consolidate device management, reduce risk exposure, and strengthen compliance posture.
