Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The existing Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2020, no mass-notification platform is in place, and a recent lockdown incident exposed critical gaps in communication and student reunification. Active emergency management mandates and an upcoming 2026–2027 compliance review cycle elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
An 11.24% budget increase in Security and Monitoring Services signals available funding, and the COPS SVPP grant—with awards anticipated soon—explicitly supports emergency management-aligned initiatives. Acting within the current grant window and fiscal cycle directly reduces compliance exposure and strengthens campus safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Supporting approximately 12,500 staff and up to 100,000 student devices, the organization lacks a documented enterprise endpoint management solution and password management controls, creating measurable identity-access and compliance gaps. A multi-vendor security stack is in place, but the absence of unified endpoint visibility and credential governance elevates operational and audit risk across the enterprise.
The opportunity
FY27 budget increases of 31% in Data Processing and 11% in Security services signal strong capital availability, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a rolling, no-cost funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns endpoint modernization with active zero-trust and identity management initiatives, reducing risk and strengthening compliance posture.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
Two non-fatal bus incidents and an active remediation effort for three-point seat belt compliance—with a 2029 deadline and a budget amendment already in motion—signal elevated safety and regulatory risk across the student transportation fleet. A prior GPS and camera system RFP confirms recognized gaps, and digital transportation modernization is an active strategic priority.
The opportunity
Transportation funding increased to $53M in FY27, and the COPS SVPP grant explicitly permits fleet safety-aligned technologies, creating a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window and fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and advances measurable student safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance is a stated organizational goal with annual audits underway and a 2027 deadline, yet no incumbent accessibility solution is in place. This greenfield gap across digital services creates measurable compliance and equity risk for students, families, and staff who rely on accessible public-facing portals.
The opportunity
The 2027 compliance deadline establishes a clear planning horizon, and FY27 budget growth in Data Processing Services alongside the IMTA grant provide viable funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for implementation, audit validation, and alignment with the active Website & Digital Services strategic initiative.

Network Infrastructure · E-Rate Procurement
High Priority
About this project
A large public charter network serving nearly 68,000 students has two active E-Rate network-refresh procurements underway, signaling a critical investment cycle for core IT infrastructure. Delays or gaps in execution risk connectivity disruptions across a complex multi-campus environment dependent on reliable network access for instruction and operations.
The opportunity
E-Rate funding is directly tied to these active procurements, and FY27 budget increases in Data Processing Services reinforce available capital for near-term infrastructure investment. Advancing this project within the current procurement window ensures funding eligibility, minimizes service disruption risk, and supports equitable digital access for students and staff.
