EOP Modernization & Unified Emergency Communications
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is approaching its mandatory 4-year review and TxSSC submission deadline, while emergency communications remain fragmented across an unmonitored legacy system and social media. No documented drills or after-action reviews exist, and the May 2026 campus consolidation intensifies the urgency to unify and validate all communication systems before the transition.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 budget process, combined with budget-approved emergency management initiatives and cooperative purchasing eligibility, creates a near-term decision window to close critical preparedness gaps. Acting now ensures compliance with state mandates, reduces operational risk during consolidation, and positions the district for available safety and preparedness funding.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 2028 for its public-facing website, creating legal exposure and accessibility risk for community members. A budget-approved website redesign initiative is underway, and document workflow accessibility gaps have been identified as an additional area of concern.
The opportunity
With roughly two years to plan, procure, and implement before the April 2028 deadline, acting now allows for deliberate execution without last-minute risk. Two identified grant opportunities may offset costs, and cooperative purchasing membership supports streamlined, compliant procurement within the current budget cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district operates with only basic cybersecurity controls and no dedicated credential management solution, creating measurable gaps in identity security despite active use of cloud-based communication tools. IT modernization is an identified strategic initiative, but foundational security tooling remains unaddressed.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 budget process creates a near-term decision window to address low-complexity, high-impact security gaps before the next fiscal cycle closes. Lightweight endpoint and credential management solutions are broadly eligible for technology funding and align with the district's existing strategic priorities.
Modernizing Student Transportation Safety Technology
Student Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates its student transportation fleet without dash cameras, telematics, or other safety monitoring tools, representing a moderate operational gap. While no incidents are on record, the absence of these safeguards leaves the district exposed to liability risk and limits visibility into driver behavior and route performance.
The opportunity
An upcoming leadership transition in 2027 may open the door to revisiting fleet safety priorities under new administrative direction. Proactive planning now—aligned with the district's annual budget cycle and cooperative purchasing membership—positions the district to act quickly when conditions are favorable.
