Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school currently meets WCAG 2.0 standards but faces a hard legal deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2027/2028. A concurrent website and mobile app initiative amplifies the risk of non-compliance, creating both a legal liability and a service delivery gap for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Remediation must begin well ahead of the compliance cutoff, and the approved FY27 budget includes $6.48M allocated for Technology and Data Systems, providing a clear funding pathway. Acting now allows the district to align accessibility improvements with its active digital services initiative and avoid enforcement risk.

High Priority
About this project
The school has launched an IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative, but gaps remain in unified endpoint management and credential security across a mixed device environment of Chromebooks and staff laptops. Without structured controls in place, the district faces elevated operational and data security risk across its technology environment.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget includes over $13M allocated across Technology/Data Systems and Security and Monitoring, signaling active procurement intent and strong funding alignment. Addressing endpoint and credential security gaps now positions the district to reduce risk, meet general cybersecurity compliance expectations, and make effective use of approved budget before the fiscal cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A Texas-mandated Emergency Operations Plan review deadline of September 2026 is approaching, with documented gaps in communication reachability due to inaccurate contact data and limited rural phone and Wi-Fi coverage. The EOP's public verification status is unclear, compounding compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The FY27 Security and Monitoring budget allocation of $6.56M signals available funding, and a recent leadership transition creates openness to strengthening emergency preparedness systems. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the school to meet the September 2026 mandate and close critical communication gaps before the next review period.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
A planned acquisition of 8–12 new buses presents a critical window to close documented gaps in fleet safety technology, including the absence of GPS telematics and driver behavior monitoring. Existing onboard cameras alone are insufficient, and a recorded operational reliability complaint signals elevated risk to student safety and service continuity.
The opportunity
The active bus procurement creates a near-term opportunity to bundle fleet safety technology at the point of acquisition, maximizing value and minimizing retrofit costs. The FY27 Security and Monitoring budget allocation signals available funding, and cooperative purchasing pathways can streamline procurement within current planning cycles.

School Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The recent opening of a permanent campus facility has created an immediate need for comprehensive, campus-wide public safety infrastructure. Documented gaps in emergency communication reachability—including incorrect contact records and poor connectivity in rural areas—elevate operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The FY27 Security and Monitoring budget of $6.56M signals active funding availability, and recent contract approvals indicate procurement momentum aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Addressing safety infrastructure now supports compliance with Texas EOP review requirements and strengthens campus-wide emergency readiness.
