Systemwide Cybersecurity & Zero Trust Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The academy is pursuing a systemwide cybersecurity overhaul encompassing Zero Trust architecture, cloud security, and identity-access modernization, with active compliance mandates and a pilot program already underway. Security and monitoring spend has grown over 11% year-over-year, reflecting sustained investment pressure and the operational risk of modernizing at scale across a large student population.
The opportunity
An open E-Rate network refresh solicitation due October 2026 creates a near-term action window, and a newly appointed CIO is actively prioritizing systems strengthening within a budget-approved initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the institution to meet compliance requirements, reduce exposure, and maximize eligible funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A large public charter network operating a mature, multi-vendor IT environment lacks a unified endpoint management solution, creating visibility gaps and compounding risk across a growing infrastructure. Active cybersecurity mandates, a Zero Trust initiative, and a 31% year-over-year rise in data processing complexity make fragmented endpoint tooling an escalating operational and compliance liability.
The opportunity
A newly appointed CIO with a technology consolidation mandate and over $48M in annual IT spend signals strong institutional readiness to act. Addressing endpoint management now aligns with the current cybersecurity pilot, active policy requirements, and the upcoming fiscal planning cycle—maximizing impact and stewardship of public education funds.
EOP Modernization and Unified Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2020, and the organization relies on fragmented notification tools rather than a unified mass-notification system. A recent major flooding event has exposed critical resilience gaps, while active multihazard EOP mandates create compliance urgency for the district.
The opportunity
This initiative is already budget-approved at the district level, with new leadership in place to accelerate procurement decisions. Addressing the EOP and notification gap now reduces operational and compliance risk while directly strengthening safety outcomes for nearly 68,000 students and staff.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces a hard April 2027 deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across its digital portals, creating significant legal exposure and access barriers for students, families, and staff. Existing gaps in digital accessibility represent both a compliance risk and an equity concern for a district serving nearly 68,000 students.
The opportunity
With the April 2027 deadline approaching and website accessibility modernization already an active strategic initiative, the current fiscal cycle is the critical window for scoping, procurement, and implementation. Acting now allows sufficient time for remediation, testing, and validation before the compliance cutoff.
Unify Student Transportation Safety and Fleet Visibility
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
Documented bus accidents and a fragmented, multi-tool fleet tracking environment leave a district of nearly 68,000 students without unified visibility into transportation operations. This gap creates moderate but real safety exposure and operational risk across a large, complex network of routes and campuses.
The opportunity
A newly appointed CIO and growing technology budget signal an active window for consolidating fragmented systems into a single, accountable fleet safety platform. Addressing this gap now reduces operational liability, improves student safety outcomes, and aligns with the district's broader infrastructure modernization priorities.
