EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard EOP compliance deadline of September 30, 2026, with significant consequences for non-compliance. Critical gaps in public EOP documentation, after-action reviews, and mass notification readiness reflect an Emergency Preparedness Gap score indicating serious deficiencies in governance and incident response.
The opportunity
A $200,000 School Safety Standards Formula Grant and an anticipated FY 2026 SVPP award provide active, dedicated funding paths with EOP conditions already in place. Acting now ensures compliance before the non-deferrable deadline while strengthening campus safety outcomes for students, staff, and the broader community.

Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, relying on a general communications platform that leaves critical emergency alerting gaps. With significant Emergency Preparedness deficiencies identified and an EOP compliance deadline of September 30, 2026, operational and regulatory risk is elevated.
The opportunity
A $200,000 School Safety Standards Formula Grant and additional emergency management funding are active, providing a clear path to address this gap with limited local budget impact. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with compliance deadlines, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and reduces audit exposure before the EOP mandate takes effect.

Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has prioritized community safe room construction and is actively deploying campus safety technology for emergency response, yet significant gaps remain in EOP documentation and mass notification capability. An EOP compliance deadline of September 30, 2026 elevates operational and regulatory risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
An approved TDEM/FEMA safe-room grant and a $200,000 School Safety Standards Formula Grant provide confirmed funding paths, with EOP compliance conditions creating urgency ahead of the September 2026 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to close preparedness gaps, satisfy mandates, and protect public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Modernization and Maintenance Execution
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces gaps in objective crash evidence collection and maintenance execution reliability, despite existing policies and a Safe Driver Review Board. These gaps introduce moderate operational and safety risk across the student transportation fleet.
The opportunity
A dedicated transportation budget increase of $144,849 provides a clear, near-term funding path for fleet safety improvements, with the FY 2026 SVPP grant offering an additional potential match. Addressing these gaps now strengthens driver accountability, reduces liability exposure, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Modernize IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Ahead of Leadership Transition
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has active IT infrastructure improvement initiatives underway, with the Technology Director's December 2026 retirement creating a critical leadership transition point. A WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility compliance deadline of April 2028 and ongoing cybersecurity needs compound operational risk during this period of change.
The opportunity
An awarded TEA Phone Free Schools grant and the rolling Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provide active funding paths to advance cybersecurity now, ahead of the leadership transition. Engaging during the current fiscal cycle enables strategic continuity, positions the district for WCAG compliance planning, and reduces operational risk before new leadership takes effect.
