EOP Compliance & Campus Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The campus operates with an undated Emergency Operations Plan and no documented after-action reviews for recent local disaster declarations, leaving students and staff exposed to critical preparedness gaps. The Texas School Safety Center's mandated EOP and Reunification for Schools Annex review cycle imposes a hard compliance deadline of September 30, 2026.
The opportunity
The September 2026 compliance deadline creates immediate urgency, and campus safety and emergency resilience are identified as funded strategic priorities within the current budget cycle. Acting now allows the institution to close preparedness gaps, satisfy state mandates, and strengthen community trust before the review window closes.
Unified Mass Emergency Notification for K–12 Networks
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 67,988-student network currently relies on a routine family communications platform as its primary emergency alerting tool, with no dedicated mass-notification system in place. This gap elevates risk during large-scale incidents and conflicts with Texas School Safety Center EOP compliance requirements tied to the 2026–2027 review cycle.
The opportunity
The EOP compliance deadline and an active campus safety and emergency-resilience initiative create immediate urgency. The 2026–2027 adopted budget reflects an 11.24% increase in security and monitoring services, signaling available funding to close this alerting gap before the next review cycle.
Network Infrastructure Refresh via E-Rate Procurement
IT Modernization · E-Rate Procurement
High Priority
About this project
Active E-Rate network refresh procurements are underway with firm deadlines (pre-proposal due September 2026, proposals due October 2026) and a core network contract renewal approaching in mid-2027. Delays in procurement readiness risk service continuity gaps across a large, multi-campus environment serving nearly 68,000 students.
The opportunity
Hard proposal deadlines and an approaching contract renewal create a defined, time-bound window to modernize core network infrastructure. A 31% budget increase for data-processing services and substantial annual IT investment confirm the financial capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The network is advancing zero-trust and cloud cybersecurity modernization alongside enterprise identity and access management improvements. Despite a mature existing security stack, identified gaps in privileged access management and endpoint controls present operational and compliance risk across a large, multi-campus environment.
The opportunity
A recently adopted budget reflects an 11.24% increase in security and monitoring funding, and an awarded infrastructure grant signals active investment capacity. With a new CIO in place and strategic initiatives already underway, the current fiscal cycle is an optimal window to close critical security control gaps.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The network has committed to achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across its digital properties, with regulatory deadlines falling in 2027–2028. Failure to meet these standards creates legal and civil rights exposure while limiting equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines in 2027–2028 establish a defined planning horizon, and website accessibility modernization is already identified as a funded strategic initiative with leadership prioritization. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows procurement to align with budget availability and avoid last-minute remediation costs.
