EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has significant emergency preparedness gaps, including no documented EOP review date, unverified mass notification configuration, and no dated exercise or audit records. A state-mandated EOP compliance deadline of September 30, 2026 creates imminent risk for students, staff, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
A hard compliance deadline, newly approved Security and Monitoring budget increases, and a recently onboarded technology leader create strong timing alignment for action this fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces regulatory exposure and strengthens districtwide safety outcomes before the mandate deadline.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks an identified password management platform and must achieve annual cybersecurity certification by August 31, 2026, per Texas law. A $62,000 technology support contract expiring on the same date creates a compounding operational gap that elevates both compliance and continuity risk.
The opportunity
Approved budget increases for Security and Monitoring and Data Processing signal funded readiness, and the 2026–2028 Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a direct grant pathway. With a new technology director onboard and a hard compliance deadline approaching, this fiscal cycle is the optimal window to close credential and endpoint management gaps.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active website accessibility initiative with a mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2028. Without a structured remediation plan, the district risks non-compliance, inequitable access for students and families, and potential legal exposure.
The opportunity
The 2026–2029 Interactive Online Learning Grant offers a viable funding pathway for accessibility tools, and new technology leadership creates favorable conditions for advancing this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to pace remediation efforts and avoid a costly, compressed timeline closer to the deadline.

About this project
A $62,000 technology support contract expires August 31, 2026, creating an immediate operational gap as the district onboards a new Executive Director of Technology. Approved budget increases for data processing and security signal a re-evaluation of the district's broader IT support and management strategy.
The opportunity
The contract's hard expiration date, combined with new technology leadership and increased IT budget allocations, creates a time-sensitive window to secure continuity and expand managed services. This aligns with the current fiscal cycle and is supported by the district's confirmed annual IT and software investment capacity.
