EOP Development & Campus Safety Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently has no Emergency Operations Plan, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and relies on a general parent communication platform not designed for crisis response. These gaps create significant safety and compliance risks across campuses, leaving students, staff, and the broader community underprotected during incidents.
The opportunity
The newly adopted 2026–2027 budget includes board-approved allocations for security, monitoring, and emergency management technology, creating an immediate and funded purchasing window. Addressing these preparedness gaps now reduces operational and liability risk while aligning with Texas K-12 safety requirements and the district's stated top strategic priority.

Cybersecurity & Data Protection · K–12 Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces documented gaps in information security, password management, and staff cybersecurity awareness, with Texas state policy mandating centralized credential security and annual training. A legacy credential vault tool and integration dependencies across existing platforms elevate both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated allocations for data processing and security monitoring, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a rolling grant directly applicable to this project. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces budget exposure and closes compliance gaps before the next mandated review period.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's IT environment is fragmented across multiple platforms, creating visibility gaps, management complexity, and cybersecurity exposure. Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and a safety and security audit underscore the urgency of consolidating endpoint and infrastructure management into a unified, resilient solution.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2027 budget includes $399K for security and monitoring and $86K for data processing, with additional funding available through the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative. Acting within this fiscal window allows the district to reduce operational risk, meet compliance requirements, and maximize approved budget before the cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Student Transportation Safety & Fleet Telematics Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks dash cameras and driver-behavior telematics, and has an incomplete student tracking rollout. Rising workers' compensation and auto-liability claims signal growing safety and financial exposure that purpose-built fleet visibility tools are designed to address.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2027 budget allocates $1.9M for student transportation, and active fleet procurement signals an immediate purchasing window. Cooperative purchasing memberships are in place, enabling streamlined acquisition and faster deployment to protect students and reduce liability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline, creating legal exposure and accessibility barriers across public-facing web portals. Current platforms were not purpose-built for WCAG conformance, leaving students, families, and staff with disabilities underserved and the district at regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The firm compliance timeline makes this a time-sensitive priority, and Assistive Technology Grants offer a supplemental funding path with the recently adopted FY2026–2027 budget providing an immediate procurement window. Acting now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and aligns remediation costs with available grant and budget cycles.

Student Transportation · Family Communications
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks real-time communication between transportation operations and families, creating visibility gaps that affect student safety and operational accountability. An incomplete student tracking rollout compounds these gaps, leaving families and staff without reliable, timely route and ridership information.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget includes a $1.9M transportation allocation, creating an immediate and funded procurement window. Acting now leverages cooperative purchasing agreements to accelerate contract execution and deliver measurable improvements in student safety and family trust before the new school year.
