Unify Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates without a documented, up-to-date Emergency Operations Plan and relies on two separate mass notification systems, creating a fragmented safety posture. Compliance mandates around EOP submission and safety audits are unmet, elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget includes active allocations for Security and Monitoring, and incoming district leadership signals openness to new initiatives. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline procurement and accelerate compliance remediation within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity & IT Modernization · Endpoint & Credential Security
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active compliance mandates covering password management, endpoint oversight, monitoring, and incident response, while its endpoint environment remains fragmented across multiple tools with no unified visibility. This fragmentation elevates operational risk and leaves the district exposed to audit findings and potential security incidents affecting staff and students.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated allocations for Security and Monitoring and Data Processing, creating a defined and immediate funding window. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns remediation efforts with available resources, supports the district's stated IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative, and reduces compliance and operational risk for the coming school year.
Interactive Online Learning Grant
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a federal mandate to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across web and digital services by April 2027, with current gaps in accessible forms and documents. Failure to remediate elevates legal and compliance risk while limiting equitable access to district services for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline makes near-term remediation planning critical, and identified grant opportunities—including the Rural Technology Fund and the Interactive Online Learning Grant (deadline September 25, 2026)—offer accessible funding pathways. Acting now allows the district to align remediation with the current fiscal cycle and reduce compliance exposure before enforcement windows close.
Rural Technology Fund
Discuss this project →Strengthen Fleet Safety and Reduce Liability Exposure
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented fleet safety technology—including GPS tracking, dash cams, and telematics—leaving auto-liability exposure unquantified and unmanaged. Without these tools, the Safety and Security Team has limited visibility into fleet operations, creating measurable risk to students, staff, and public assets.
The opportunity
With a newly approved 2026–2027 budget and cooperative purchasing programs already in place, the district can act now to close fleet safety gaps with minimal procurement friction. Proactive investment reduces liability exposure and supports responsible stewardship of public transportation resources ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Unifying 1:1 Device Management for K–12 Continuity
EdTech Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 device program relies on fragmented endpoint management tools, creating administrative gaps and inconsistent coverage across student devices. Compliance mandates around monitoring and incident response require a unified approach to reduce operational risk and ensure accountability.
The opportunity
The newly approved 2026–2027 budget includes a dedicated Data Processing allocation, and the Interactive Online Learning Grant (deadline September 25, 2026) and RLIS grant offer near-term funding pathways. Acting within the current grant window aligns investment with fiscal planning and strengthens instructional continuity for students.
