Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hawley ISD faces documented emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified EOP status, severe weather exposure with recorded community impact, and fragmented communications across multiple platforms following a recent notification system transition. Near-term school safety audit and EOP compliance mandates elevate operational and regulatory risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A new superintendent onboarded in early 2026 has prioritized emergency communications and campus safety modernization, creating a receptive window aligned with active strategic initiatives and compliance deadlines. Addressing these gaps now supports audit readiness, consolidates fragmented systems, and positions the district for safety-focused funding available in the current planning cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's recent platform transition has left emergency notification fragmented across multiple channels, creating communication continuity risks during incidents. Pending school safety-and-security audit requirements and EOP compliance obligations elevate the urgency of establishing a single, reliable alerting system.
The opportunity
A new superintendent and active strategic initiative around emergency-notification modernization create a clear decision window this fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and the project aligns with school safety compliance mandates, reducing audit exposure and strengthening district-wide emergency response for students and staff.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a recurring annual mandate for cybersecurity awareness training, with compliance risk increasing as staff and students access Google-hosted email and multiple SaaS platforms without formalized identity and access management controls. Unmanaged credential exposure across fragmented applications elevates the risk of unauthorized access and data breach.
The opportunity
A new superintendent taking the helm in early 2026 creates a timely window for technology reassessment and policy alignment, while the annual training mandate drives a near-term procurement need. Addressing both training compliance and identity controls now supports stewardship of student data and positions the district ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance under ADA Title II by 2028, and current gaps in public-facing digital content create legal exposure and inequitable community access. An upcoming digital content license expiration in August 2026 creates a natural review point to assess and address accessibility across platforms.
The opportunity
Beginning planning and procurement now allows the district to align remediation efforts with the upcoming fiscal cycle and a September 2026 grant window that may offset costs. Early action reduces legal risk, supports equitable access for all community members, and avoids a compressed, costlier compliance push closer to the 2028 deadline.
Interactive Online Learning Grant
Discuss this project →Online Learning Platform Renewal and Replacement
Digital Learning · Ed Tech Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's current online learning platform license expires in August 2026, creating a hard deadline for a renewal or replacement decision. Failure to act risks disruption to digital instruction continuity for students, particularly those in credit recovery or alternative learning pathways.
The opportunity
The August 2026 expiration and a new superintendent's arrival create a timely window to reassess platform fit and long-term instructional value. An Interactive Online Learning grant with a September 2026 deadline may offset costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.
