EOP Compliance & Emergency Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard September 30, 2026 deadline for Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) EOP compliance, with no dedicated emergency mass-notification platform, tabletop exercises last conducted in 2017–2018, and no documented severe weather communication testing. These gaps create significant operational, safety, and audit risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 Security and Monitoring budget has grown from $34K to $138K, with a school-wide PA system already approved, signaling immediate funding capacity ahead of the compliance deadline. Acting now aligns spending with TxSSC audit requirements and closes critical preparedness gaps before the fiscal year window closes.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district has experienced a 31% spike in auto physical-damage insurance premiums with no fleet-specific safety technology—such as dash cameras or telematics—currently in place. Active internal reviews of bus fleet health and seatbelt retrofit discussions confirm a recognized and unaddressed operational safety gap affecting student transportation.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs create a clear, immediate ROI case for fleet safety investment, with savings potential that can offset implementation costs. Cooperative purchasing pathways are already in place, enabling faster, compliant procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district is expanding student devices and modernizing operations while facing growing cybersecurity risks with no identified endpoint protection, credential management, or email security currently in place. With annual IT and software spend at $330K and the Data Processing budget rising to $278K for 2026–2027, the gap between investment and protection is widening.
The opportunity
The TEA-funded Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a rolling grant deadline, providing an immediate funding path for endpoint detection, credential management, and email security with no identified competing solutions in place. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the district's increased security budget and active device expansion priorities.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing digital presence does not fully meet WCAG accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and equity gaps for students, families, and community members with disabilities. Addressing this gap is a longer-term compliance driver with growing regulatory and civil rights implications for K-12 institutions.
The opportunity
Proactively remediating web accessibility reduces litigation risk and supports equitable access to public information ahead of increasing federal and state enforcement activity. The RLIS grant offers a potential funding avenue, and aligning this work with the upcoming fiscal cycle supports responsible stewardship of public resources.
