Emergency Communications & Incident Coordination Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's 30-year-old phone system is unsupported and its mass-notification system remains unverified, leaving critical gaps in emergency communications. A bond-funded VoIP replacement approved in May 2026 and an active Multi-Hazard EOP initiative are underway, with a safety and security audit deadline of September 2026 elevating urgency.
The opportunity
Approved bond funding and a hard September 2026 audit deadline create a near-term implementation window aligned with the district's $2.77M public safety tech budget. Acting now ensures compliance, strengthens incident coordination, and positions the district to meet EOP requirements before the fiscal cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent bus accidents and public scrutiny over driver behavior have elevated transportation safety risk, while a significant seat-belt retrofit gap remains unresolved ahead of a 2029 compliance mandate. With a budget determination deadline of August 2026, the district faces compounding operational, financial, and reputational pressure to act.
The opportunity
Approved bond funding and an active Transportation Center modernization initiative create a clear, near-term budget pathway. Acting before the August 2026 determination deadline positions the district to meet state compliance, reduce liability exposure, and improve student safety outcomes within the current planning cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across its digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for students, families, and staff. Existing web and communications platforms present integration considerations that must be addressed ahead of the April 2027 federal compliance deadline.
The opportunity
The April 2027 WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline establishes a firm implementation window, making near-term planning essential to avoid legal risk and service disruption. The Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment offers a viable funding pathway, and cooperative procurement options can streamline the process within current budget cycles.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Longview ISD has identified gaps in endpoint management and credential security as new systems—including a recently completed device refresh and an incoming VoIP replacement—expand the district's managed technology footprint. New technology leadership is actively evaluating solutions to address these whitespace areas before vulnerabilities compound.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a rolling grant funding path well-aligned to this project, reducing local budget pressure during an active fiscal planning period. With new district leadership in place and a recently refreshed device fleet, conditions are favorable for timely, integrated implementation.

Campus Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has established a dedicated police department and launched a campus safety and security modernization initiative, with a firm September 2026 audit reporting deadline driving compliance urgency. Gaps in emergency communications and mass-notification readiness elevate operational risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Approved bond funding designated for safety and security provides a confirmed budget pathway, and new safety leadership creates organizational momentum to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing these gaps now ensures audit readiness, strengthens emergency preparedness, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of public trust.
