Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unreviewed EOP, undocumented emergency notification governance, and unconfirmed district-wide alert testing following recent wildfire exposure. An active safety audit compliance mandate elevates risk to students, staff, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The incoming 2026–2027 budget cycle and a new superintendent create a receptive window to address overdue compliance mandates and close preparedness gaps. Acting now reduces audit exposure, strengthens community safety outcomes, and positions the district to leverage available school safety funding.

Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent bus safety incident has exposed the district's lack of fleet monitoring or telematics technology, creating immediate risk for students and staff. With no existing fleet management platform in place, the district operates without real-time visibility into vehicle condition, driver behavior, or route safety.
The opportunity
The district has approved a bond for new buses, increased its student transportation budget, and is actively pursuing grant-funded bus modernization — aligning investment capacity with an urgent safety need. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to deploy fleet safety technology alongside new vehicle acquisitions, maximizing impact and public accountability.

Discuss this project →Closing the Cybersecurity Password Management Gap
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a password management solution despite active use of Google and Microsoft 365 environments, creating measurable exposure across staff and student accounts. An active compliance mandate around password management policy elevates this gap from a best-practice concern to an operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The district's increased security and monitoring budget line and participation in cooperative procurement vehicles support a streamlined, cost-effective acquisition path this fiscal cycle. With no incumbent solution in place, the district can act quickly to close a documented compliance gap and strengthen its overall cybersecurity posture.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an active WCAG/ADA compliance mandate with an identified deadline, creating legal exposure and equity risk across its digital properties. The initiative is currently unfunded, leaving students, families, and staff without equitable access to essential online content and services.
The opportunity
A hard compliance deadline creates immediate urgency, and the upcoming FY planning cycle presents a timely window to secure remediation funding before legal and reputational risk escalates. Addressing this now supports equitable access for all learners and aligns with the new superintendent's opportunity to establish clear compliance priorities.

Discuss this project →Device Lifecycle & IT Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · EdTech Lifecycle Planning
High Priority
About this project
The district faces converging IT decisions—active board-level Chromebook procurement discussions and an expiring instructional software license in September 2026—without a structured endpoint lifecycle or software renewal framework in place. These gaps create budget unpredictability and risk to instructional continuity for students and staff.
The opportunity
With the 2026–2027 budget recently adopted and a new superintendent prioritizing infrastructure improvements, this fiscal cycle presents a timely window to formalize lifecycle planning and reduce reactive spending. Cooperative procurement channels already in place can streamline acquisition and support responsible stewardship of public funds.
