Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's emergency preparedness posture has critical gaps — including an unknown EOP age, unconfirmed mass notification contract status, and documented communication failures during lockdowns. The current notification system operates in isolation from core student and administrative platforms, and the active 2026-27 EOP review is mandated under Texas Education Code.
The opportunity
The mandated EOP review creates a defined near-term decision window, and a proposed $600M bond package includes allocations for safety, security, and emergency management — providing a credible funding path. Cooperative purchasing options are available, supporting a streamlined procurement process aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with legal and operational risk tied to non-compliance. A district-wide accessibility initiative is underway, but gaps in digital content and workflows remain unresolved for a student population exceeding 44,000.
The opportunity
A grant deadline of September 2026 offers a near-term funding path for accessibility-enabled digital instructional content, and a proposed bond package includes specific ADA access allocations. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure and supports equitable access for all students.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent cyberattack on the district's learning platform exposed active vulnerabilities across endpoints and systems, prompting a 2025 cybersecurity RFQ. With district-wide rightsizing underway and an open technology leadership position, unaddressed gaps elevate operational and data security risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Bond 2020 modernization funding and an existing $9.6M annual IT spend signal capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Advancing endpoint and cybersecurity infrastructure now reduces breach risk, supports continuity of instruction, and aligns with the district's active procurement process.

Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed student routing incident exposed gaps in fleet oversight, including the absence of telematics-based driver scoring and dash-cam integration despite existing onboard cameras. These gaps create operational and safety risk for students and elevate district liability in a large, complex transportation environment.
The opportunity
An active grant-funded fleet electrification initiative signals district commitment to transportation modernization, creating a natural window to layer in safety and tracking capabilities. Cooperative purchasing options and alignment with the upcoming fiscal cycle support a cost-effective, streamlined procurement path.

IT Modernization · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district is advancing security and technology modernization tied to Bond 2020, while managing a structural budget deficit and an open CITO position that signals organizational transition. With over $9.6M in annual IT spend across a complex environment, gaps in emergency preparedness, web accessibility compliance, and endpoint management pose escalating operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A proposed $600M bond package—with $492M earmarked for modernization, safety, ADA access, and emergency systems—represents a significant funding unlock aligned with the district's current planning cycle. Acting ahead of bond approval and the April 2027 WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline positions the district to reduce risk, meet mandates, and steward public funds effectively.
