Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Harleton ISD faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an undocumented EOP review status, no HSEEP-style exercise history, and unverified emergency communication performance. A state-mandated multihazard EOP must be in place by September 2026, creating immediate compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The September 2026 compliance deadline and a newly adopted budget reflecting a 45% increase in Security and Monitoring create a clear, time-sensitive window to act. Existing emergency management spending provides a budget foothold, and cooperative procurement pathways support cost-effective, fiscally responsible implementation.

Discuss this project →Districtwide Endpoint & Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has approved Chromebook and Interactive Flat Panel purchases in its 2026–27 budget, with Data Processing funding up 13.94%, yet dedicated endpoint management tooling remains a documented gap. Without structured device oversight, instructional continuity, data security, and asset accountability are at risk across the districtwide deployment.
The opportunity
The newly adopted budget confirms active spending capacity, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers state-funded endpoint management services at no cost to the district. Acting within this fiscal cycle maximizes available resources and reduces implementation risk before new devices are fully deployed.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Harleton ISD is required to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards by April 2028, with continuous website accessibility designated as a funded strategic initiative. Failure to comply creates legal exposure and limits equitable digital access for students, families, and community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
The district's newly adopted 2026–27 budget includes approved technology funding, and assistive technology grants may offset additional costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance readiness well ahead of the mandate and supports equitable access for all community members.

Discuss this project →School Bus Fleet Monitoring & Student Transportation Safety
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an active school bus fleet with documented maintenance and replacement needs, yet lacks vehicle monitoring capabilities. With an 11.84% increase in the Student Transportation budget and a funded fleet renewal initiative, the gap between operational investment and safety visibility is a growing risk.
The opportunity
The newly adopted 2026–27 budget includes approved transportation spending, creating an immediate and funded entry point for fleet monitoring. Acting within this budget cycle strengthens student safety outcomes, supports operational accountability, and aligns with the district's strategic fleet renewal initiative.
