EOP Compliance & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unconfirmed EOP status, an active mass notification system transition introducing integration and reliability risks, and heightened public scrutiny following a fatal on-campus incident. A state compliance mandate requires EOP review and documentation by September 30, 2026, with no EOC or dispatch platform currently in place.
The opportunity
The September 2026 EOP compliance deadline creates a firm near-term action window, and the district's proposed $400 million bond election includes safety and security funding eligible to support this initiative. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and positions the district to leverage available capital before the bond cycle closes.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an aging bus fleet with only 39% seatbelt coverage, no documented telematics system, and unresolved public complaints about driver speeding. A state seatbelt compliance mandate deadline of September 2029 exists, and the district remains currently non-compliant, elevating student safety and liability risk.
The opportunity
Bond 2026 Proposition A is earmarked for new buses, creating a direct capital funding trigger aligned to this effort. A new Director of Transportation and cooperative purchasing membership support faster adoption, while acting now builds compliance progress ahead of the 2029 mandate.

IT Modernization · K-12 Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks unified endpoint management for non-Apple devices, creating visibility and control gaps across a substantial IT environment serving over 9,000 students. This exposes the district to cybersecurity risk and operational inefficiencies at a scale where unmanaged endpoints can directly impact instructional continuity and data security.
The opportunity
Bond 2026 Proposition B designates capital funding specifically for technology device upgrades, creating a near-term procurement window aligned with this need. The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative signals active state-level prioritization of school IT security, and cooperative purchasing memberships support streamlined, compliant procurement within the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Credential & Password Management Hardening
Cybersecurity · K-12 IT Security
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a named commercial credential management solution, leaving a documented gap in password security across its IT ecosystem. This vulnerability exposes staff and student data to credential-based threats, a recognized risk area under Texas K-12 cybersecurity guidance.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative signals strong state-level funding alignment for school credential security, and the district's substantial annual IT budget supports near-term investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a documented security gap before it becomes a compliance or incident liability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Communications Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with identified gaps in current digital communications tools. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to district information for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The approaching 2027 deadline and an active district initiative for accessible communications create a defined window to act within current budget and planning cycles. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement and accelerate compliant implementation.
