EOP Modernization and Emergency Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Memphis ISD faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an unresolved EOP status, undocumented emergency communication configurations, and no documented HSEEP exercises. A Texas ISD Safety and Security Audit mandate with a hard deadline of September 15, 2026 elevates compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Dedicated safety grant funding—including SAFE Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 awards—is active and aligned to this work, with the compliance deadline creating clear near-term urgency. Addressing these gaps now protects students, satisfies state audit requirements, and positions the district to steward available public safety funds effectively.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Memphis ISD faces an active mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2028, with identified gaps in digital portal and content accessibility for students and the public. The district has recognized website accessibility and digital-content maintenance as a funded strategic priority, signaling urgency to close compliance gaps before the deadline.
The opportunity
Grant programs including the 2026–2029 Interactive Online Learning Grant and Title V rural school funding offer eligible pathways to offset costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to meet the April 2028 deadline, reduce legal and compliance exposure, and ensure equitable digital access for all students and community members.

Discuss this project →Modernize Endpoint Management for District IT Operations
IT Modernization · K-12 Technology Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Memphis ISD operates a multi-device environment without a dedicated endpoint management platform, creating visibility gaps and operational risk for a lean IT team supporting 442 students. The district's active investment in districtwide technology access and digital learning infrastructure underscores the urgency of closing this oversight gap.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2027 budget includes $253,754 designated for data processing, providing direct funding for this initiative, and purchases within the informal procurement threshold may allow for a streamlined acquisition process. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the district's strategic technology priorities and supports equitable, uninterrupted digital learning.
Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Policy Compliance & Password Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · K-12 IT Security
High Priority
About this project
Memphis ISD is required under Texas law to maintain a formal cybersecurity policy, yet gaps remain in password management practices and the district lacks dedicated security monitoring and endpoint protection. The adopted FY2026–2027 budget includes $120,050 specifically for security and monitoring, confirming active investment intent alongside identified compliance risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative grant provides a direct funding pathway, and dedicated budget allocations are already in place for the current fiscal cycle. Acting now closes compliance gaps, reduces operational exposure, and positions the district to fully leverage available public funding before the window closes.
