EOP Compliance & Unified Emergency Communications Modernization
School Safety & Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Frost ISD lacks a current, compliant all-hazard Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises or audits on record, placing the district out of compliance with Texas School Safety Center mandates. Emergency communications rely on a fragmented mix of tools, creating systemic gaps in unified response capability and elevating risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
Active compliance mandates from the Texas School Safety Center create immediate pressure to remediate EOP deficiencies, and a new superintendent entering in July 2025 presents a timely window for strategic prioritization. Emergency management spend is not currently broken out in the district budget, offering a clear path to define and allocate funding within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's emergency communications rely on a fragmented mix of standalone notification tools and separate website and radio backups, creating operational gaps and inconsistent alerting. Without a compliant, unified system, the district faces elevated risk of non-compliance with Texas School Safety Center EOP requirements and reduced effectiveness during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Mass notification modernization is already a named district strategic priority, creating a clear mandate for near-term action. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement, and consolidating fragmented tools into a unified solution reduces compliance risk and strengthens emergency response outcomes for students and staff.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Frost ISD faces a federally mandated ADA Title II/WCAG 2.1 web accessibility deadline of April 2028, with no unified strategy across its current website and communications platforms. Fragmented content management across multiple digital channels elevates compliance risk and limits equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline creates a defined two-year window to achieve conformance, and the 2026–2029 Interactive Online Learning Grant (Cycle 4) offers up to $300,000 as a conditional funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to align procurement through established cooperative purchasing agreements and reduce long-term remediation costs.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & Credential Security Modernization
K–12 Cybersecurity · IT Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a Google-based environment with no identified incumbent for endpoint or credential management, leaving a small, likely understaffed IT function exposed. A dedicated Security and Monitoring budget of $116,514 has been adopted for FY2026–2027, alongside an unfunded initiative to modernize information security and prohibited-technology policy.
The opportunity
Allocated security funding and an active state-level cybersecurity initiative offering no-cost, TEA-paid services create a low-barrier, near-term entry point. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes critical endpoint and credential gaps before vulnerabilities escalate or policy mandates tighten.

Discuss this project →Student Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
Frost ISD is actively financing new buses under a district transportation modernization initiative, yet no safety technology such as telematics or in-cab cameras is publicly evidenced on the fleet. This gap creates liability exposure, limits visibility into driver behavior and incidents, and leaves the district without data to demonstrate compliance or operational efficiency.
The opportunity
With the student transportation operating budget cut for 2026–27 despite ongoing bus financing, the district faces pressure to demonstrate measurable ROI through safety and efficiency gains. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available, and the active modernization initiative creates a timely entry point to address fleet risk before the next budget cycle.
