Modernize Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
Following a bus rollover accident with injuries and an active lawsuit alleging negligent vehicle operation, the district lacks documented driver monitoring evidence to support its defense or prevent recurrence. The existing GPS fleet solution is outdated, leaving a critical gap in transportation safety oversight and liability documentation.
The opportunity
Safety and legal exposure create immediate urgency, and the district's established cooperative purchasing relationships provide a streamlined, compliant procurement path. Existing IT and software budget capacity, combined with the district's on-record telematics initiative, positions this project for action within the current fiscal cycle.
Emergency Operations Plan & Crisis Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan remains unverified, public communications faltered during a recent platform transition, and repeated severe weather events have occurred without documented after-action findings. Compliance mandates tied to EOP review and safety audits elevate operational and liability risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget includes $1.59M allocated to Security and Monitoring, providing a near-term funding base. Documented strategic initiatives for multi-channel crisis notification and campus safety standardization position this project for action within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Sharyland ISD faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with current web and document platforms identified as non-compliant. Unaddressed accessibility gaps expose the district to legal and regulatory risk while limiting equitable access to digital resources for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The fixed federal deadline creates high timing urgency, and the district's approved Data Processing budget allocation ($1.37M) provides a viable funding base for staged remediation by risk severity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to sequence work strategically and meet compliance requirements without emergency-driven spending.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active Texas cybersecurity training and audit mandates, with a strategic initiative underway to strengthen multifactor authentication, phishing awareness, and account-security practices. Gaps in identity and credential management elevate risk to student data, staff systems, and regulatory standing.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget includes $1.59M designated for Security and Monitoring, providing a direct funding path for this non-discretionary initiative. A pass-through grant opportunity may further offset costs, and acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance continuity and reduces audit exposure.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active strategic initiative for centralized Chromebook and device lifecycle administration, yet lacks unified endpoint visibility and structured refresh planning. A failed bond measure eliminated $6.5M in planned classroom technology funding, increasing operational and budget risk for aging device infrastructure.
The opportunity
Existing annual IT spend and co-op procurement relationships offer viable, near-term pathways to advance this initiative without new capital authorization. Pass-through grant funding may further offset costs, and acting within the current fiscal cycle preserves continuity and avoids compounding refresh backlogs.
