EOP Modernization and Unified Incident Coordination
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
RISD faces regulatory and preparedness risk due to compliance mandates for EOP revisions, an unverified EOP age, and a fragmented mass notification environment split across systems. The absence of a consolidated incident coordination platform leaves the district without a unified response posture across its 37,000+ student population.
The opportunity
Dedicated Bond 2025 safety funding provides a clear, approved budget path, and active leadership transitions create a timely opening to establish modernized emergency operations. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens campus-level response, and aligns with the current funding cycle.

Discuss this project →K-12 IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Bond 2025 allocates $143.5M across devices and infrastructure, driving a large-scale modernization effort for a district serving over 37,000 students. A fragmented device management ecosystem and unresolved credential security gaps introduce operational and cybersecurity risk across the enterprise.
The opportunity
Bond-funded technology refreshes are targeted for Fall 2026, creating a defined procurement window aligned with current planning cycles. The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a no-cost funding path for eligible tooling, and established cooperative purchasing agreements further streamline procurement for qualifying solutions.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Expansion & Optimization
Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Despite an active fleet telematics deployment, RISD continues to experience onboard violence, driver assault, and elevated workers' compensation claims. These persistent incidents signal that current capabilities have not fully addressed safety risks for students, staff, and drivers.
The opportunity
Fleet and transportation are active district strategic priorities, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to enable fast, compliant procurement. Expanding or optimizing current fleet safety capabilities now reduces liability exposure and supports a safer environment for the district's 37,000-plus students.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
RISD faces legal and accessibility risk from WCAG/ADA compliance gaps across public-facing digital portals, with an existing tool that may not fully address document-level accessibility. Unresolved gaps leave the district exposed to compliance findings and potential civil rights liability affecting students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates create urgency independent of fiscal cycles, and Bond 2025 technology timelines support a structured procurement path. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available, reducing procurement friction and enabling the district to close accessibility gaps efficiently within current planning windows.

Discuss this project →Alarm & Physical Security Contract Rebid
Physical Security · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
RISD's alarm and physical security contracts expire in November 2026, creating a hard deadline for rebid or renewal. Failure to act proactively risks an operational security gap across district facilities, directly impacting student and staff safety.
The opportunity
Bond 2025 safety allocations and cooperative purchasing vehicles provide a clear funding and procurement path ahead of the November 2026 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity of coverage and aligns with the district's broader safety modernization priorities.
