Emergency Operations Plan & Notification Platform
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's multihazard Emergency Operations Plan status is unverified, no dedicated emergency management coordinator has been identified, and the district relies on county resources rather than its own infrastructure. Texas Education Code §37.108 mandates a compliant EOP and triennial safety audit, and the absence of a dedicated emergency notification platform leaves students, staff, and the community at measurable risk.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $22 million bond program with safety-related capital allocations provides a clear, near-term funding pathway, and an incoming superintendent creates a timely opening for new safety initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal window addresses compliance mandates, closes a critical preparedness gap, and strengthens district-wide emergency response before the next required safety audit cycle.

Cybersecurity · K-12 IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has unaddressed compliance requirements under TEC §11.175, mandating cybersecurity controls and secure password practices, with no identified solutions currently in place. A lean IT operation and limited annual technology spend elevate the risk of a security incident, audit finding, or data exposure affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
Active grant funding through the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative (rolling deadline) and E-Rate is available and applicable to this district. A recent leadership transition and ongoing technology planning create a timely window to close compliance gaps and establish foundational cybersecurity controls before the next audit cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility mandate with a compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, leaving digital properties at legal and equitable access risk. Students, parents, and community members with disabilities may face barriers to critical district information and services until gaps are resolved.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined planning window, and a recent superintendent transition signals openness to digital modernization priorities. Acting now allows for phased implementation, alignment with the upcoming fiscal cycle, and potential eligibility for state or federal accessibility funding.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
With only 249 students and a lean annual IT spend, the district's endpoint environment lacks documented visibility and management capabilities. Texas Education Code §11.175 mandates cybersecurity controls, and the absence of a structured program creates measurable compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative and E-Rate program offer active, eligible funding pathways for endpoint and cybersecurity investments. A recent leadership transition and an ongoing bond program create a favorable window to advance technology priorities within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Proactive Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
Grady ISD operates a bus fleet without a documented dash-camera or telematics program, leaving student safety and driver accountability gaps unaddressed. While no acute incidents have been recorded, the absence of visibility tools creates preventable liability and operational risk as the district expands transportation infrastructure.
The opportunity
The district's active bond program, which includes a new bus barn, signals a natural window to extend transportation infrastructure investment into fleet safety technology. Aligning telematics adoption with ongoing capital planning supports responsible stewardship of public funds and positions the district ahead of future compliance or insurance requirements.
