EOP Development & School Safety Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, has no recent exercises or audits on record, and has an unverified emergency notification configuration. A hard TxSSC compliance deadline of September 30, 2026 elevates risk to students, staff, and the district's standing.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget, adopted in August 2026, explicitly prioritizes school safety and EOP — funding is approved and the compliance window is immediate. Acting now closes a critical preparedness gap, satisfies the TxSSC mandate, and positions the district for eligible state and federal safety grants.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current communications platform has an unverified emergency notification configuration, leaving a critical gap in reliable alerting for staff, students, and families. With a TxSSC EOP review deadline of September 30, 2026, this gap poses direct compliance and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
The September 2026 EOP review deadline creates an immediate window to validate or replace emergency notification capabilities before a compliance finding occurs. Active grant opportunities and a freshly adopted FY2026–2027 budget support funding this initiative now, with cooperative purchasing agreements available to streamline procurement.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district operates school buses without any documented telematics or fleet safety technology, representing a clear operational gap. A budget-approved bus purchase in August 2026 creates an immediate window to establish safety visibility before new assets enter service.
The opportunity
The current 2026–2027 budget cycle has approved the bus purchase, and the Rural and Low-Income School Program grant may provide supplemental funding for fleet safety technology. Acting now avoids retrofitting costs and establishes a safety baseline from day one of new asset deployment.

IT Modernization · Student Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district is executing a budget-approved Chromebook refresh while managing Microsoft 365 SSO integration and multiple expiring software contracts, yet lacks a dedicated endpoint management solution. With a small IT team supporting 535 students, the absence of centralized device oversight creates operational risk and limits instructional continuity.
The opportunity
This project is funded and active within the current fiscal year, and the Rural and Low-Income School Program grant may offset endpoint management tooling costs. Acting now aligns procurement with the refresh timeline and reduces the management burden on limited IT staff.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district carries an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a deadline of April 26, 2028, yet the initiative remains unfunded. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to district digital resources for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
A grant aligned with accessible digital content carries a September 2026 deadline, offering a near-term funding pathway to advance this initiative ahead of the compliance deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle enables deliberate budget planning and reduces legal and public access risk.
