School Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, no identified mass-notification platform, and recent campus incidents without public after-action reviews. Strong state compliance mandates require EOP submission by September 30, 2026, elevating operational and safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The September 30, 2026 EOP submission deadline creates immediate urgency, and the district's approved budget surplus and co-op procurement memberships provide a favorable path to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now advances active strategic initiatives—including safety audits, reunification training, and campus digital mapping—while protecting students and ensuring compliance.
Endpoint Security & Cybersecurity Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · K-12 IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks identified endpoint management and password management platforms, creating measurable cybersecurity exposure across staff and student systems. TEA/DIR mandates require adoption of EDR, MFA, and email security services by September 1, 2026, elevating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The September 2026 TEA/DIR deadline creates near-term urgency, while the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers a direct funding path. A 42.2% budget increase in data processing services and a projected $4.69M surplus support procurement readiness, with co-op memberships available to streamline the process.

Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an accessibility commitment but lacks verified WCAG conformance across a fragmented digital ecosystem spanning multiple platforms, creating moderate compliance risk. The April 2027 WCAG planning deadline adds timing urgency to remediate gaps and unify accessibility standards district-wide.
The opportunity
The newly approved $2.1M Data Processing Services budget provides available funding, and the April 2027 deadline creates a clear procurement window. Consolidating fragmented platforms now enables simultaneous accessibility remediation, reduces compliance exposure, and aligns with the district's active strategic planning cycle.
Physical Security & Monitoring Services Modernization
Campus Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
An existing private-security contract expires in July 2027, creating a critical re-evaluation point as recent incidents—including bomb threats and lockdowns—have occurred without documented after-action reviews. A $3.3M approved Security and Monitoring Services budget signals institutional readiness, while incoming superintendent leadership adds urgency to close identified service gaps.
The opportunity
The defined contract expiration timeline and pre-approved $3.3M budget create a clear, actionable procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now allows the district to establish a comprehensive, forward-looking security framework that addresses documented incident gaps and supports student and staff safety outcomes.
