IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Ranger College has approved a funded FY2026 initiative to modernize computer and networking equipment, backed by a $407,003 increase in IT spending. A split productivity ecosystem and incoming IT leadership create operational complexity and signal a timely re-evaluation of management tooling and infrastructure strategy.
The opportunity
Budget is approved and leadership transition creates an immediate window to align modernization decisions with institutional priorities. Cooperative purchasing memberships streamline procurement, and the project may qualify for state grant funding, reducing local cost burden while advancing IT resilience and continuity.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The college operates a split Google/Microsoft environment with existing but potentially inadequate identity and password management tools, creating credential security gaps. A $41,500 increase in the Security department budget signals that leadership has recognized these vulnerabilities and is actively moving to address them.
The opportunity
The Texas TRUE Grant Program provides a direct funding pathway for cybersecurity training technology, and a recently approved FY2026 security budget increase creates a well-funded, near-term window to consolidate and strengthen the institution's cybersecurity posture before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & PDF Document Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college's current PDF creation and editing workaround has been identified as insufficient to meet ADA Title II and WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements, creating direct legal and regulatory exposure. An approaching federal compliance deadline elevates the urgency for staff, students, and the institution's standing.
The opportunity
The federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates a defined action window, and digital accessibility is already established as a funded strategic priority within the current budget cycle. Addressing this now reduces legal risk, advances equitable access, and aligns with approved FY2026 IT spending.

Discuss this project →EOP Modernization & Mass Notification Compliance
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college's Emergency Operations Plan lacks a documented revision date and relies on an unverified mass notification system with no confirmed testing or HSEEP-style exercises. These gaps create direct compliance exposure under Texas Education Code §51.217 and §51.218, placing students and staff at risk.
The opportunity
Texas state law creates a non-discretionary compliance deadline, and inaction carries clear legal consequences. Addressing EOP gaps and notification infrastructure now aligns with the current fiscal cycle and supports eligible funding pathways for emergency preparedness initiatives.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Transportation Risk Management
Fleet Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college has a documented coverage gap for student passengers transported in vans, with no safety technology in place to support claims defense or incident documentation. This unaddressed liability exposure affects both student safety and the institution's risk posture.
The opportunity
A $110,000 FY2026 capital allocation for fleet-related spending confirms budget intent and creates a near-term procurement window. Cooperative purchasing memberships are in place, enabling faster acquisition of safety technology that reduces institutional liability and protects students.
