EOP Review & Incident Management Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Midway ISD's Emergency Operations Plan was last formally dated 2018 and faces a hard compliance deadline of September 30, 2026. Two recent emergency declarations—flooding and a pipe burst—have exposed fragmented response capabilities and the absence of a unified incident management platform, elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The 2026-09-30 compliance deadline creates immediate, non-negotiable urgency, while the district's $83.5 million Bond 2025 and $395,004 annual emergency management budget provide clear funding pathways. Acting now enables the district to close preparedness gaps, satisfy state mandates, and advance mass-notification modernization already prioritized in its Technology Plan.

Student Transportation · Fleet Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
41 of 73 school buses remain non-compliant with state seat-belt mandates, with full compliance required by September 2029. A recent incident settlement—lacking dash-cam evidence—exposed significant liability gaps, while projected compliance costs of $3.8M–$6.9M and rising insurance premiums underscore the urgency of modernizing fleet management and video telematics.
The opportunity
With $6 million already allocated for new buses and the $83.5 million Bond 2025 explicitly covering transportation, a funded procurement window is open now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability exposure, supports compliance timelines, and improves student safety outcomes before costs escalate further.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Midway ISD's digital content estate is fragmented, and the district must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by the 2027/2028 deadline. Without a consolidated accessibility strategy, the district risks non-compliance, inequitable access to digital services for students and families, and potential legal exposure.
The opportunity
The firm compliance deadline creates clear urgency, and the 2026-2029 Interactive Online Learning Grant (Cycle 4, up to $300,000) offers a competitive supplemental funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the district's Technology Plan and positions the project for bond-supported investment.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates under active cybersecurity mandates with only partial controls in place — documented password protection exists, but no enterprise-grade privileged access management solution has been identified. This gap exposes sensitive student, staff, and operational data to credential-based threats, a recognized risk in the district's own Technology Plan.
The opportunity
The district's $83.5 million Bond 2025 explicitly funds data security improvements, creating a near-term funding pathway aligned with current planning cycles. Addressing privileged access gaps now reduces audit exposure, supports mandate compliance, and strengthens the district's broader cybersecurity posture ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management Consolidation and IT Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates multiple specialized IT management tools, creating administrative overhead and operational fragmentation across its technology environment. A one-to-one endpoint modernization initiative is explicitly documented in the district's Technology Plan, signaling a strategic intent to rationalize and consolidate endpoint management capabilities.
The opportunity
Bond 2025 funding for technology infrastructure, combined with over $1.1M in annual IT and software spend, positions this consolidation effort for near-term action within the current budget cycle. Rationalizing the endpoint toolset reduces operational complexity, supports cybersecurity mandates, and improves stewardship of public technology funds.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Midway ISD's Technology Plan identifies mass-notification modernization as a strategic priority, yet emergency preparedness gaps persist—including recent facility emergencies and an EOP last reviewed in 2018. Without a reliable, unified notification capability, the district faces elevated compliance and safety risk ahead of the September 2026 EOP review deadline.
The opportunity
The 2026-09-30 EOP compliance deadline and $395,004 in annual emergency management tech spend create clear urgency and budget alignment. Bond 2025 safety funding further supports accelerating this initiative within the current fiscal planning cycle.
