Modernize Endpoint Management and IT Visibility
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's reliance on a legacy IT help-desk tool for endpoint management limits device visibility and strains understaffed IT personnel. A board-approved cybersecurity and IT modernization initiative signals a clear mandate to address these operational gaps before they create security or continuity risk.
The opportunity
Bond funding is actively allocated for network infrastructure and technology equipment, creating a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. State grant programs supporting K-12 cybersecurity may further offset costs, enabling the district to modernize IT operations while stewarding public funds responsibly.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on multiple sign-in platforms without a dedicated identity or password management solution, leaving credential security gaps that expose staff and student data to unauthorized access. Active cybersecurity modernization initiatives and bond funding signal institutional readiness to address these vulnerabilities.
The opportunity
A state-level K-12 cybersecurity grant offers a no-cost funded pathway for identity security adoption, significantly reducing the local budget burden. Combined with an active $19M bond program and no incumbent solution in place, this is a timely opportunity to close credential security gaps and strengthen district-wide data protection.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented fleet video or telematics capabilities despite a prior bus collision and existing regulatory inspection requirements, creating unresolved safety and liability exposure. Active Bus Barn construction signals infrastructure investment, but the current split GPS ecosystem leaves operational and oversight gaps unaddressed.
The opportunity
New facility investment and a documented safety incident create a compelling, time-sensitive case for fleet safety upgrades aligned with the current budget and infrastructure cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the district can streamline procurement and accelerate deployment without a lengthy bid process.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly verified Emergency Operations Plan and has no dedicated mass-notification system, relying instead on a school communications platform not designed for emergencies. Prior local disaster declarations and shelter-in-place incidents underscore the operational and life-safety risk of this gap.
The opportunity
A funded campus physical security initiative creates a direct entry point to address emergency preparedness now, with bond allocations available to support implementation. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces incident exposure and positions the district for compliance with state emergency planning expectations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation for District Digital Channels
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a fixed April 2028 deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards, and current digital communications infrastructure does not appear to meet those requirements. Failure to remediate creates regulatory exposure and limits equitable access to public information for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined, budgetable timeline that supports phased remediation planning within current and upcoming fiscal cycles. Acting early reduces last-minute compliance risk, supports equitable service delivery, and allows the district to align remediation costs with existing operational and bond-funded technology allocations.
