Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Update
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since August 2020, placing it over a year past its required 4-year review cycle. The absence of documented HSEEP-style exercises and a modern mass notification system creates critical gaps with NIMS and state mandates, putting federal preparedness funding at risk.
The opportunity
With the EOP review overdue and FY26/FY27 financial planning actively underway, this is an immediate window to remediate compliance gaps and protect eligibility for federal preparedness funding. Homeland Security Grant Program funding is available for qualifying emergency management initiatives, reducing the local budget burden.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, relying on a static webpage and hotline to reach staff, students, and families during emergencies. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review, this gap elevates compliance risk and leaves the community without reliable, modern alerting capabilities.
The opportunity
Federal preparedness funding — including Homeland Security grant programs — is available for emergency communication technology, and the district's active FY26/FY27 budget planning creates a near-term procurement window. Addressing this now closes a critical safety gap, supports NIMS compliance, and protects continued access to federal preparedness funding.

High Priority
About this project
Student devices issued in 2020 operate without evidenced dedicated IT management or cybersecurity tooling, creating unmonitored endpoints and potential data security gaps. The board's active discussion of a 'Technology Approach' signals awareness of these risks as FY26/FY27 planning advances.
The opportunity
Active FY26/FY27 budget planning and the board's goal to rebid larger contracts create a near-term procurement window. HSGP explicitly allows IT and cybersecurity enhancement equipment as eligible uses, offering a direct funding pathway with limited local match required.
