Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan remains unverified, mass-notification capabilities are not fully configured for emergency use, and no public after-action reports exist to confirm drill compliance. A multihazard EOP mandate and a newly established Emergency Management Coordinator role signal an urgent, board-recognized need to close these gaps before the 2026–2027 school year.
The opportunity
An active emergency management contract renewal window for 2026–2027, combined with new district leadership, creates a near-term opening to implement a compliant, fully integrated preparedness solution. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal and operational exposure and aligns with the district's approved budget cycle and cooperative procurement pathways.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current communication platform is not fully configured as a dedicated emergency mass-notification system, leaving measurable gaps in staff and community alerting capability. With an unverified Emergency Operations Plan and no public after-action reports, the district faces elevated compliance and operational risk across its student population of over 10,000.
The opportunity
An active emergency management contract renewal and newly appointed leadership in both the superintendent and emergency coordinator roles create a near-term window for evaluation and procurement. This project is budget-approved with a funding path, aligns with multihazard EOP compliance requirements, and is eligible for cooperative purchasing vehicles that streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Awareness Training & MFA Implementation
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an overdue Texas cybersecurity training mandate with a hard deadline of August 31, 2026, and potential felony-level consequences for non-compliance. A dual-cloud environment adds complexity to identity and access management, elevating risk across staff and student data systems.
The opportunity
An approved interlocal cybersecurity agreement and an active $151.9M budget signal institutional readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing training and MFA gaps now reduces legal exposure, strengthens data governance, and aligns with the district's highest-priority strategic initiatives.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Modernization & Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a dual-cloud environment across multiple IT management platforms, creating fragmented endpoint visibility and inconsistent patch management. A prioritized device replacement initiative and active E-Rate infrastructure investment signal both urgency and readiness to consolidate and modernize.
The opportunity
Approved E-Rate Form 470 filing for FY2027 and over $220K in committed internal connections funding establish a defined fiscal window for infrastructure decisions. Acting within this cycle aligns device replacement and unified endpoint management with available funding and strategic district priorities.
E-Rate FY2027
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 and broader ADA Title II exposure, with current digital tools insufficient to close the identified gap. Failure to remediate creates legal liability and risks excluding students, families, and staff from equitable access to public digital resources.
The opportunity
A TEA grant cycle closing September 2026 offers a conditional funding path for digital-content and accessibility initiatives, creating a near-term application trigger ahead of the 2027 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the district to reduce legal exposure, meet federal mandates, and align remediation costs with available external funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Transportation Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Transportation Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district carries documented transportation liability, including a bus rollover incident resulting in over $100,000 in insurer payments, with no public evidence of dash cameras or driver-behavior telematics in the current fleet. This gap represents significant safety, financial, and reputational exposure for students, staff, and the board.
The opportunity
Recently closed fleet solicitations confirm active evaluation in this category, and the district's approved $151.9M budget signals readiness to invest. Addressing this now reduces liability exposure, supports board-level safety accountability, and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline acquisition.
