Emergency Operations Plan Enhancement for School Safety
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
FISD faces a Texas safety and security audit deadline of September 2026, with an identified emergency preparedness gap compounded by a prior inadvertent lockdown incident and fragmented communication systems across multiple platforms. The absence of a unified emergency management approach elevates operational and compliance risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
An approved $160M bond explicitly allocating funds for safety and security upgrades provides a confirmed capital path to address this gap before the 2026 audit deadline. Acting within the current fiscal window ensures compliance readiness, strengthens district-wide emergency response, and protects public trust.

Discuss this project →ADA Digital Accessibility Compliance for District Websites
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
FISD must meet the Federal ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate by April 2028, with an acknowledged remediation gap already reflected in the district's bond program. Unresolved accessibility barriers on district digital properties create legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
Bond funding earmarked for ADA improvements is active now, creating an early procurement window ahead of the 2028 deadline. The 2026–2029 Interactive Online Learning Grant may provide an additional funding avenue for digital accessibility tools, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance risk while maximizing available resources.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented bus dash camera and telematics systems, creating an evidence and defensibility gap that elevates operational and liability risk. A formal Fleet Modernization initiative and newly appointed Director of Transportation signal readiness to address this gap.
The opportunity
An approved $160M bond explicitly funds transportation upgrades, and the adopted budget reflects increased Pupil Transportation allocations, confirming near-term capital availability. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with new leadership priorities and reduces ongoing operational risk.

Discuss this project →K-12 Cybersecurity and Endpoint Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas SB 820 imposes an ongoing cybersecurity mandate on the district, and no dedicated cybersecurity or endpoint management solution is currently in place. This gap elevates operational and compliance risk across data processing, end-user devices, and network infrastructure serving thousands of students and staff.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides an active funding path, and an approved bond with increased Data Processing Services allocations further supports near-term investment. Upcoming internet service contract expirations within 18 months create a defined decision window aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
