Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is outdated and lacks documented mass notification protocols, while real-world incidents including a school threat, floods, and wildfires have exposed critical response gaps. Texas state mandates require a current, operationalized multihazard EOP, and non-compliance carries direct consequences for student and staff safety.
The opportunity
Emergency Management and Public Safety is the district's top strategic priority with dedicated funding already adopted in the current budget cycle, creating an immediate window for action. Addressing EOP gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens incident response, and protects students, staff, and the broader community.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 Level A/AA/AAA partial conformance gaps across its web presence, with an active compliance deadline. These gaps create legal and accessibility risk while limiting equitable digital access for community members, students, and families.
The opportunity
A rolling grant with confirmed district eligibility provides a direct funding path for accessibility remediation, reducing local budget impact. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses the active compliance deadline, mitigates legal exposure, and advances the district's stated Website & Digital Services strategic initiative.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented security stack across multiple platforms with no centralized endpoint management, no current device inventory, and no named password management solution in place. This gap increases exposure to cyber incidents and complicates compliance with documented internal security requirements.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2027 budget includes funded allocations for Security and Monitoring and Data Processing, creating an active window to act within the current fiscal cycle. An upcoming November 2026 revenue vote may expand M&O capacity further, making this an optimal time to consolidate and strengthen the district's security posture.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's expanding bus fleet operates without documented GPS, telematics, or driver monitoring controls, and a recorded unsafe bus stop reroute signals active safety risk. Without visibility into fleet operations, the district faces gaps in student safety oversight and transportation accountability.
The opportunity
Capital investment in transportation is already underway, backed by a voter-approved bond that earmarks funding for this initiative. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the district to deploy monitoring controls, close documented safety gaps, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public funds.
