Emergency Operations Plan Development for School Safety
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kirby Middle School currently lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, a mass-notification system, and a designated emergency management coordinator, with no documented drills or exercises on record. These gaps create significant compliance and safety risk against Tennessee's mandated annual school safety plans, drills, and assessments due each July 1.
The opportunity
A governance transition has created a defined near-term decision window through June 2026, and a federal school safety grant offering up to $500,000 directly funds emergency planning and alert technology. Acting within this cycle addresses compliance deadlines, closes critical safety gaps, and maximizes available funding before the window closes.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Kirby Middle School currently lacks a named mass-notification system, a designated emergency management coordinator, and documented preparedness exercises, leaving students and staff without a reliable communication channel during incidents. These gaps conflict with annual school safety plan and drill mandates, with compliance deadlines falling on July 1, elevating both operational and regulatory risk during an already complex governance transition.
The opportunity
The July 1 annual safety compliance deadline and an active federal grant window—with awards up to $500,000 for school safety and emergency alert technology—create a narrow, time-sensitive procurement window. Acting now aligns with district-level prioritization of school security, supports incoming leadership, and directly reduces life-safety and compliance risk for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint Management for District IT Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a centralized IT environment with no identified endpoint management solution, creating a visibility and control gap across devices. This split ecosystem increases operational risk and undermines technology-readiness goals tied to the school's ongoing governance transition.
The opportunity
District leadership has prioritized network upgrades and school security spending, creating a funding pathway aligned with the current fiscal transition window. Addressing endpoint management now supports operational efficiency mandates and positions the district to steward technology resources responsibly ahead of the upcoming budget cycle.
Privileged Access & Credential Security Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
While MFA is in place, no centralized password management solution has been identified, leaving credential-based attack surfaces unaddressed in a centralized IT environment. This gap is inconsistent with a mature security posture and elevates risk for staff, students, and sensitive district data.
The opportunity
The school's active technology readiness transition creates a natural evaluation window with no incumbent solution to displace. Addressing this gap now aligns with district security priorities and supports a defensible, audit-ready cybersecurity posture ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
