Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Miami ISD lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, has no verified mass notification escalation protocols, and has not documented HSEEP-style exercises or designated an emergency management coordinator. These gaps create critical compliance and operational risk as the district actively participates in the 2026 Roberts County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The opportunity
The district's recently approved 2026–27 budget includes dedicated Emergency Management and Public Safety spending, creating a timely funding pathway. Addressing these gaps now aligns with active safety planning initiatives and reduces liability before the next hazard mitigation planning cycle closes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across all public-facing digital portals and content by April 26, 2028, a federally mandated deadline. Non-compliance exposes the district to legal liability and restricts equitable public access for students, families, and community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
With the 2026–27 budget recently approved and the RLIS grant identified as a potential funding path for accessibility initiatives, conditions are favorable to act now. Early planning within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to meet the 2028 deadline without last-minute cost pressure or compliance risk.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
Miami ISD's school transportation operations lack documented in-vehicle monitoring—including dash cameras and telematics—creating critical gaps in incident reconstruction and driver accountability. A historical bus-injury event and an active transportation compliance review, combined with a seat-belt regulatory mandate, elevate both operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
The district's newly approved 2026–27 budget and active fleet-related procurement decisions signal immediate spending readiness, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined acquisition path. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability exposure, supports regulatory compliance, and strengthens the safety outcomes the community expects.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & IT Efficiency Modernization
IT Modernization · EdTech Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a Chromebook environment with no identified endpoint management solution, creating gaps in device visibility, control, and IT operational efficiency. With limited IT staff and active cybersecurity-related spending, the absence of centralized endpoint oversight elevates operational and security risk across the district.
The opportunity
The newly approved 2026–27 budget and an active E-Rate service contract consideration create a near-term window for technology decision-making, with E-Rate eligibility offering a potential funding pathway for qualifying services. Acting within this fiscal cycle allows the district to close device management gaps efficiently and maximize available funding before the window closes.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Miami ISD faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates with no credential management solution in place, creating measurable security gaps. Limited IT staffing and small district resources heighten vulnerability, making managed, lightweight security controls a critical operational need.
The opportunity
The newly approved 2026–27 budget and an active E-Rate service contract consideration signal a live spending window aligned with this project. Addressing credential security and staff training now reduces compliance risk and positions the district to leverage eligible cooperative procurement vehicles already in place.
