School Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hearne ISD currently lacks a school-specific Emergency Operations Plan, with fragmented emergency communications and unresolved after-action findings from prior incidents. A hard compliance deadline of October 1, 2026 elevates operational and safety risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The October 1, 2026 mandate creates immediate procurement urgency, and an active $19 million bond for school security and technology provides available funding. A leadership transition beginning July 1, 2026 opens a timely window for new initiative adoption ahead of the compliance deadline.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on a helpdesk ticketing tool but lacks a comprehensive endpoint management solution, creating visibility and control gaps across its IT environment. Texas school district cybersecurity policy mandates improved IT governance and security posture, leaving the district exposed to compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active bond-funded IT and instructional-technology modernization creates a funded, near-term deployment window. A leadership transition and greenfield endpoint environment support accelerated decision-making, aligning with the current fiscal cycle and state cybersecurity compliance requirements.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district operates multiple public-facing digital platforms with documented accessibility and content consolidation gaps that must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements by April 26, 2028. Unresolved gaps create compliance and equity risks for students, families, and community members who rely on accessible digital services.
The opportunity
The Rural Technology Fund Assistive Technology Grant offers a direct funding path to offset costs, reducing budget friction ahead of the compliance deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for platform remediation, staff alignment, and audit-ready documentation before the 2028 mandate takes effect.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas school district cybersecurity policy mandates require strengthened security controls, including endpoint protection and credential management — areas with no identified solutions currently in place. These coverage gaps expose the district to elevated compliance risk and potential vulnerabilities across its technology environment.
The opportunity
Active bond-funded IT modernization provides an available, near-term funding pathway to close these gaps without relying solely on the general operating budget. Addressing compliance mandates now — ahead of audit or incident exposure — aligns with current spending authority and supports responsible stewardship of district resources.

Discuss this project →Modernize Fleet Visibility & Student Transportation Safety
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district's bus fleet currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating unmonitored gaps in student safety and driver accountability. A safety committee has begun discussing camera coverage and bus parking, and a new Bus Barn facility underscores the growing need for structured fleet visibility controls.
The opportunity
The new Bus Barn construction and active safety committee discussions create a timely window to establish fleet visibility standards before a formal procurement process begins. Cooperative purchasing channels already in use by the district offer a streamlined, cost-effective path to implementation aligned with current budget planning.
