Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with no remediation plan or supporting technology currently in place. This gap exposes the district to legal liability and limits equitable access to public-facing digital resources for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
With a newly appointed Director of Technology and $1M in budgeted technology funds, the district is positioned to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns remediation costs with available capital before the compliance deadline.
Strengthen Emergency Operations & Crisis Communications Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Longview ISD has an existing EOP but faces an unfinished crisis communications framework and a compliance-verification gap tied to Texas School Safety Center audit and EOP review cycles with approaching deadlines. The district's new police department initiative and Multi-Hazard EOP development highlight the urgency of improving emergency coordination and incident response workflows.
The opportunity
The SAFE Cycle 2 grant has already been awarded to the district, with an amendment deadline approaching — creating a direct, time-sensitive funding path. A newly appointed Director of Safety and Security and bond-funded VoIP infrastructure investment signal strong organizational readiness to close preparedness and compliance gaps now.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Transportation Monitoring
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented three bus incidents in 19 months—including two involving students and a two-bus collision—signaling an urgent, unresolved transportation safety gap. Concurrent Transportation Center expansion and electric bus procurement amplify the operational and liability risk of operating without real-time fleet monitoring.
The opportunity
Active capital investment in fleet infrastructure creates a natural, cost-aligned entry point for telematics and driver behavior monitoring. The district's established cooperative purchasing agreements and technology budget support procurement this fiscal cycle, reducing both risk and time to implementation.
Strengthen Endpoint & Credential Security District-Wide
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active cybersecurity mandates requiring annual training and incident reporting, yet lacks confirmed enterprise-wide password management. A centralized IT environment built around SSO and student information systems—combined with a bond-funded device refresh—significantly expands the endpoint attack surface and elevates credential risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K–12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers direct statewide funding for endpoint and credential protection, aligning with the current fiscal environment and the district's confirmed IT budget capacity. A new technology leadership appointment and active device procurement create a timely window to close compliance gaps and reduce operational risk.

IT Modernization · EdTech Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district has allocated $1M for new technology and $871K for instructional technology alongside a bond-funded device refresh, yet lacks unified endpoint lifecycle management. Without centralized device oversight, IT staff face visibility gaps, inconsistent policy enforcement, and increased operational risk across the district.
The opportunity
An active procurement window—driven by bond funding, new state revenue, and an incoming technology leadership transition—creates immediate alignment for this initiative. Addressing endpoint management now maximizes return on device investments and positions the district for eligible state cybersecurity funding support.

Discuss this project →Strengthen District Credential Security and Identity Protection
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a confirmed enterprise password management solution despite cybersecurity mandates requiring annual training and incident reporting. This gap creates direct credential security risk within a centralized SSO environment, exposing staff, student data, and district systems to unauthorized access.
The opportunity
The Texas K–12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides statewide funding explicitly aligned to credential protection, offering a grant-supported path to close this compliance gap. With new technology leadership in place and no incumbent solution to displace, the district is well-positioned to act within the current funding cycle.
