Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The institution faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 for its digital portals and public-facing web properties. Non-compliance carries legal and regulatory consequences, and an institution-wide digital accessibility modernization initiative is actively underway to close existing gaps.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates near-term budget pressure, and recently approved budget increases for software subscriptions and technology replacement signal available funding. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the institution to meet compliance requirements, reduce legal exposure, and improve equitable digital access for all users.

Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The institution faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an EOP of unknown age, no Pre-K Academy-specific emergency plan, and fragmented notification systems operating as a split ecosystem. A multihazard EOP mandate carries severe consequences for non-compliance, elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader campus community.
The opportunity
Recent leadership transition at the Pre-K Academy creates a timely opening to reassess and consolidate emergency systems before the next budget cycle locks priorities. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens campus-wide readiness, and positions the institution to pursue available public safety funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The institution maintains active cybersecurity controls with imminent renewals for network security appliances and enterprise licensing, creating gaps in endpoint management and credential security. Clery Act reporting obligations and a $1.59M annual IT spend underscore both the compliance stakes and the operational complexity of maintaining a secure, resilient environment.
The opportunity
Upcoming contract renewals and approved budget increases—including $150K for network upgrades and $454K for technology replacement—create a natural window to close endpoint and credential management gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with existing appropriations and reduces compliance and operational risk before the next renewal period.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college operates an active fleet replacement program with no documented safety technology—such as dash cameras or telematics—creating measurable risk exposure. Auto insurance costs rose 33.3% over four fiscal years, and recent budget increases in fleet charges signal growing operational and financial pressure in this area.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs and an ongoing fleet replacement cycle create a timely window to integrate safety monitoring before additional vehicles are deployed. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement, and addressing this gap now supports cost containment, liability reduction, and stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Campus Physical Security Infrastructure Modernization
Campus Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
The institution is advancing a large-scale surveillance system investment of approximately $1.17M to modernize physical security infrastructure across campus. Clery Act compliance mandates documented, functional security systems, elevating both regulatory and operational risk if action is delayed.
The opportunity
A recently approved operating budget with dedicated technology replacement funding provides strong near-term capital backing for this investment. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to support compliant, expedited procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating project delivery.
