Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Leslie Public Schools lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and a reliable mass-notification system — creating significant compliance and safety exposure for 1,071 students. Current emergency management IT spend of under $4,000 annually falls well short of what district preparedness obligations require.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program presents a time-sensitive funding path with a July 2026 deadline, offering the district a clear avenue to close preparedness gaps with limited local match. Acting now addresses documented EM1 compliance mandates, reduces incident liability, and aligns with the district's current budget planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a clearly identified mass-notification solution, leaving staff and community members without a reliable alerting mechanism during emergencies. This gap compounds existing emergency preparedness deficiencies—including no documented EOP or drills—elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program funding window closes July 2026, creating a near-term opportunity to address this gap with limited local match required. Advancing notification modernization alongside EOP development maximizes strategic impact, supports compliance, and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A reported bus incident has exposed the district's lack of dashcam and telematics technology, leaving it without incident documentation or driver behavior monitoring. Recent school bus acquisitions occurred without fleet safety tools, creating measurable liability and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A March 2026 budget revision increased transportation funding, and cooperative procurement vehicles provide a fast, compliant path to acquisition. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a critical safety gap and aligns with budget-approved transportation initiatives already in place.

Cybersecurity & IT Modernization · Student Data Protection
High Priority
About this project
The district faces documented cybersecurity gaps—including Acceptable Use Policy and password policy deficiencies—with no disclosed endpoint or credential management solutions in place. An expired instructional software contract and outstanding WCAG 2.1 website accessibility obligations are compounding modernization pressure and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A budget-approved IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative, reinforced by a March 2026 technology budget increase and issued State Aid Anticipation Notes, signals accessible funding for near-term action. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline procurement and accelerate compliance outcomes within the current fiscal cycle.
