Unify Emergency Notifications and Certify District EOP
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a split notification ecosystem — one system for district communications, a separate county-level system — creating coordination gaps during incidents. An active mandate to certify a multihazard EOP, combined with an ongoing intruder-detection audit remediation and no documented after-action reports, elevates both compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
An active emergency management exercise signals near-term decision-making momentum, and bond funds may support infrastructure investment within the current planning cycle. Unifying notification systems now closes a documented safety gap, advances EOP certification, and reduces exposure before the next compliance review.

About this project
Two district buses are currently non-compliant with SB 546's three-point seat belt mandate, and no dash-camera, telematics, or GPS systems are documented, leaving students and the district exposed to unmitigated safety and liability risk. A $270,000 bus purchase that was not competitively bid has triggered a procurement-correction deadline of August 31, 2026.
The opportunity
The August 31, 2026 correction deadline creates immediate urgency, while the district's $8.885 million bond program—explicitly covering buses and vehicles—provides allocated funding. Cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate compliant procurement and help the district resolve safety gaps, meet state mandates, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public funds.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, covering electronic information resources across all digital platforms. Current website infrastructure may not meet these standards, and compliance is explicitly required under the awarded Interactive Online Learning Grant, tying accessibility directly to continued grant eligibility.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 grant-funded technology implementation window and the April 26, 2027 WCAG 2.1 AA deadline create clear, time-bound urgency. The Interactive Online Learning Grant (Cycle 4, 2026–2029) directly funds digital platform licenses and professional services eligible for accessibility remediation, with no identified incumbent.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's active Cybersecurity Annex mandates ongoing actions including vulnerability scanning and timely system updates, yet limited IT capacity and a small staff create meaningful compliance and operational risk. Recent leadership transitions — including a new technology director and cybersecurity lead — signal the program is in active formation and requires structured investment to meet requirements.
The opportunity
The awarded Interactive Online Learning Grant provides a co-funding pathway for device management tied to cybersecurity, and new decision-makers are actively evaluating program direction. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with grant timelines and reduces exposure under the district's standing compliance mandates.

About this project
The district was awarded the 2026–2029 Interactive Online Learning Grant (Cycle 4), funding digital platform licenses, devices, and professional services for the 2026–2027 academic year. All procured resources must meet Texas accessibility requirements, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA, making compliance a condition of grant eligibility.
The opportunity
The active grant award creates a defined, funded procurement window for the 2026–2027 cycle—a rare alignment of budget, timeline, and compliance mandate. Acting within this window ensures grant eligibility, meets accessibility deadlines, and advances equitable digital learning outcomes for students.
