Emergency Operations Plan Update and Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review with no documented exercises, creating direct compliance risk and preparedness gaps. The absence of a formal mass notification system further compounds vulnerability for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with deadlines in July 2026 are explicitly aligned with emergency management and mass notification, offering a near-term funding pathway with limited local match. An upcoming leadership transition makes early action critical to maintain momentum and align new administration with compliance priorities.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies on a general-purpose mobile app rather than a dedicated mass notification platform, creating a critical gap in reliable emergency communication with students, staff, and the broader community. This deficiency compounds an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review, elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with July 2026 deadlines offer a funded pathway for emergency notification infrastructure, and an active sinking fund cycle opening this summer creates a near-term procurement window. Acting now aligns with compliance obligations, strengthens community safety outcomes, and positions the district to leverage available capital before the fiscal window closes.

Cybersecurity · Student Data Privacy
High Priority
About this project
The district experienced a confirmed student data breach and lacks documented endpoint management and password-security controls, creating measurable exposure across its SIS and productivity platforms. These gaps elevate risk to student records, staff credentials, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Grant programs with upcoming deadlines carry explicit cybersecurity eligibility, offering a funded pathway for a district of this size and scope. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces breach recurrence risk and strengthens data stewardship for students and families.
Modernizing Student Transportation Safety Technology
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates school buses and recently completed new bus purchases without documented safety technology such as dash cameras or telematics, creating a preventative safety gap. Without these tools, the district lacks real-time visibility into transportation operations, increasing risk exposure for students and staff.
The opportunity
A recently approved five-year sinking fund (~$2M) establishes a capital cycle with project planning beginning this summer, creating an immediate procurement window for transportation safety technology. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to simplify and accelerate acquisition, aligning with current budget timelines and stewardship goals.
