Cybersecurity & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has board-approved FY2026–2027 funding for cybersecurity monitoring and IT modernization, including a 25.4% increase in Data Processing appropriations. Fragmented endpoint and server administration, combined with mandatory incident reporting and cybersecurity coordinator obligations, create measurable compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provide a funded, low-barrier path to address these gaps now. Cooperative purchasing vehicles further streamline procurement, reducing time-to-implementation and supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent multi-vehicle bus crash with employee injuries and an ongoing liability lawsuit expose critical gaps in fleet oversight, with most vehicles lacking dash cams or telematics. Without real-time monitoring and onboard evidence capture, the district faces compounding safety, liability, and operational risk.
The opportunity
The Student Transportation budget has increased 6.6% in the adopted FY2026–2027 budget, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement. Acting now closes a documented evidence and monitoring gap while aligning with active fleet expansion initiatives, including bus barn development and van acquisition.
Region 7
Discuss this project →Strengthen Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Continuity
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces unverified Emergency Operations Plan currency, a documented communications outage vulnerability, and missing after-action reports. Senate Bill 11 mandates panic alert technology and EOP compliance, creating active regulatory and operational preparedness risk.
The opportunity
Senate Bill 11 compliance deadlines and the district's current communications platform transition create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with adopted budget appropriations and supports pursuit of state-eligible emergency management funding.
Region 7
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has a strategic initiative to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across its website and public-facing digital services, driven by a federal ADA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027. Non-conformance exposes the district to legal liability and creates access barriers for students, parents, and staff.
The opportunity
The April 2027 federal deadline creates a firm compliance window, and the district's FY2026–2027 budget includes approved appropriations for digital services modernization. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate remediation timelines.
Region 7
Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential & Identity Access Governance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates across both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, creating credential and identity management gaps in a split technology ecosystem. Cybersecurity compliance obligations—including incident reporting and designated coordinator requirements—demand stronger access governance to reduce exposure and meet state mandates.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes a 25.4% increase in Data Processing appropriations, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a funded-services path for identity and credential management with no local cost match required. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns investment with approved appropriations and active compliance deadlines.
