Emergency Operations Planning & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a verified Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a countywide notification system with documented limitations, leaving critical infrastructure exposed without clear backup or continuity procedures. New emergency management facilities nearing completion signal active investment, but foundational preparedness gaps remain unresolved.
The opportunity
FY 2026–27 budget planning is underway, and FEMA grant programs including EMPG and HMGP offer viable funding paths for preparedness initiatives. Addressing notification and continuity gaps now aligns with active infrastructure investment and reduces operational and compliance risk to district residents and facilities.
Cybersecurity Training Compliance & Credential Security
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas mandates annual certified cybersecurity training for applicable public entities, and the district's compliance deadline has already passed, creating immediate regulatory exposure. A documented need for centralized credential and password management compounds the risk, as fragmented access controls leave critical systems and public data vulnerable.
The opportunity
With a missed compliance deadline and a growing FY2026 IT and cybersecurity budget, the window to remediate risk and demonstrate fiscal stewardship is now. Addressing training and credential management together maximizes impact, aligns with active budget planning cycles, and supports the district's broader IT modernization priorities.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a continuous WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate under Texas DIR requirements, with a 2028 implementation deadline. Fragmented digital service portals across billing and property tax functions create accessibility gaps that expose the district to compliance risk and unequal resident access.
The opportunity
With FY 2026–27 budget planning underway and Texas DIR compliance requirements ongoing, beginning remediation now avoids costly last-minute overhauls and supports equitable, accessible public services. Early action aligns with current IT budget growth and positions the district ahead of the compliance curve.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and Contract Renewal Readiness
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a critical cloud services contract renewal deadline in September 2025, coinciding with an operational leadership transition that is actively influencing technology decisions. FY2026 budget increases in IT hardware and software signal growing infrastructure demands that current systems may not adequately support.
The opportunity
The September 2025 contract renewal deadline and active FY2026–27 budget planning create an immediate window to right-size IT management and monitoring investments. Aligning modernization decisions now ensures operational continuity, supports compliance obligations, and maximizes stewardship of growing public technology funds.
