Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is six years old, exceeding the required four-year review cycle and jeopardizing NIMS-related funding eligibility. Reliance on a school-centric notification tool—rather than a dedicated multi-agency platform—leaves critical communication gaps, compounded by reduced county emergency management capacity.
The opportunity
A recently announced emergency preparedness drill signals active leadership engagement and near-term readiness to act. Addressing this now aligns with the current compliance cycle, protects federal funding eligibility, and may qualify for available public safety and preparedness grant funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on a school-centric notification tool that lacks multi-agency emergency communication capability, while its Emergency Operations Plan is six years old and overdue for review. This gap creates meaningful compliance risk under NIMS requirements and leaves staff, students, and community partners without a purpose-built platform during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Federal grant funding, including public safety technology programs, is actively available to support mass-notification and emergency preparedness investments with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses overdue EOP compliance, strengthens multi-agency coordination, and reduces operational risk to students and the broader community.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks documented fleet safety technology, including dash cameras, telematics, and driver monitoring systems, creating measurable liability exposure for students, staff, and the public. Without baseline safety infrastructure in place, the district has limited visibility into vehicle operations and driver behavior.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement vehicles offer accessible, competitively solicited pathways to deploy fleet safety solutions without lengthy standalone bid processes, supporting responsible stewardship of public funds. Addressing this gap now reduces liability risk and aligns with available public safety technology funding, including grant programs supporting vehicle telematics.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district received a cybersecurity notification from a third-party education platform, exposing credential and identity access vulnerabilities tied to district-hosted email infrastructure. Without structured password and access management controls, staff and student data remain at elevated risk from external security events.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding is explicitly applicable to cybersecurity solutions, offering a viable funding path within the current grant window. Acting now reduces breach exposure, supports acceptable-use compliance, and positions the district ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
