EOP Modernization and School Safety Audit Compliance
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks an approved Emergency Operations Plan, has faced criticism for notification delays, and is under hard compliance deadlines (September 15 and 23, 2026) for safety audits and EOP submission. Noncompliance risks include public hearings and conservator authority, compounded by concurrent leadership transitions in both the superintendent and safety director roles.
The opportunity
The upcoming Safety and Security Committee meeting creates an immediate, time-bounded window to act, with the proposed FY2026–2027 budget already allocating a $100,000 increase for security and monitoring. Addressing EOP gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community trust, and positions the district to pursue available safety and preparedness grant funding.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's fragmented emergency communications environment—spanning separate platforms for notifications, anonymous reporting, and regional coordination—limits coordinated incident response and has drawn prior criticism for notification delays. Pending EOP review deadlines and safety audit requirements elevate compliance and operational risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
An upcoming Safety and Security Committee meeting and active EOP modernization timeline create immediate decision-making urgency. The district's proposed budget includes a dedicated Security and Monitoring increase, and available grant funding may offset consolidation costs—making this fiscal cycle the right moment to act.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has budget-approved funding for IT and cybersecurity modernization, with a proposed $247,450 increase in Data Processing for 2026–2027, yet no separately defined cybersecurity budget line exists. Gaps in endpoint management and credential security expose the district to operational and compliance risk across a limited but dedicated technology footprint.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers no-cost cybersecurity services that can significantly reduce local expenditure and accelerate deployment within the current budget cycle. Acting now aligns with approved funding, upcoming fiscal planning, and the district's stated modernization priorities before the new school year.

Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has no confirmed bus dash camera or telematics solution in place, leaving driver behavior, incident response, and student safety visibility unaddressed. This technology gap presents operational risk in a district where safety and security is a stated top strategic priority.
The opportunity
With an active budget cycle prioritizing security investments and newly allocated funds for security and monitoring, the upcoming fiscal year presents a natural entry point to close this gap. Addressing fleet visibility now supports the district's broader safety strategy and positions the investment alongside other security initiatives already in motion.
