Cybersecurity Modernization & Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an active cybersecurity program with CISA reporting obligations, but fragmented tooling across endpoint management, software deployment, and password management creates measurable compliance and security gaps. Consolidating this split ecosystem is critical to reducing exposure across a large student and staff population.
The opportunity
Active grant funding through the FCC Cybersecurity Program (2025–2028) and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a time-sensitive, partially funded path to modernization. With a $2.6 million approved technology investment package and a new COO prioritizing integrated operations, the district is positioned to act within the current fiscal window.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, with unresolved safety audit findings dating to 2016–2017 and an Emergency Preparedness Score of 3, signaling critical readiness gaps. Fragmented communication systems and the absence of a consolidated emergency communications platform compound compliance risk and leave students and staff vulnerable.
The opportunity
An approved $2.6 million district investment package provides a funded pathway to address emergency management gaps now. Cooperative purchasing membership streamlines procurement, reducing time-to-deployment while outstanding audit findings and overdue compliance mandates create high urgency for action this fiscal cycle.
Fleet Management & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
Following a recent transition to direct transportation control, the district faces fragmented GPS infrastructure and persistent driver shortages that limit fleet visibility and safety oversight. Without integrated fleet management, operational risk to student safety and service continuity remains elevated.
The opportunity
A board-approved $2.6 million package—funded through a recent school sale—includes transportation upgrades, creating an active and funded modernization window. Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined procurement path, enabling faster implementation aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
Managed Device & Endpoint Deployment Modernization
Endpoint Management · K-12 IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's current endpoint environment relies on split management tooling, creating inefficiencies in software deployment and device lifecycle management across 14,000+ students and staff. Standardizing managed device cart deployment is a defined initiative (2025–2027) with direct implications for cybersecurity posture and CISA compliance obligations.
The opportunity
Active state cybersecurity grant funding and an FCC cybersecurity grant (2025–2028) provide eligible pathways to offset deployment costs, and cooperative procurement membership supports faster, compliant purchasing cycles. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns investment with the district's approved technology budget and structured initiative timeline.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a 2028 WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline, but full conformance across public-facing portals and digital content remains unverified. This gap poses legal and equity risks, potentially limiting access to district services for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
A recent leadership shift elevating technology oversight to the COO level signals a timely window to prioritize accessibility remediation ahead of the 2028 deadline. Proactive assessment and remediation aligns with current FY planning cycles and supports equitable access to public education resources.
