Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified EOP, no unified mass notification system, and recent communication outages that exposed operational continuity vulnerabilities. A hard compliance deadline for EOP review and Reunification Annex submission in September 2026 elevates urgency for immediate action.
The opportunity
The recently adopted 2026–2027 budget includes technology allocations, and a new Interim Superintendent with immediate hiring authority creates a near-term decision window. Addressing these gaps now ensures compliance, strengthens student and staff safety, and aligns with available funding mechanisms including cooperative procurement.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district carries documented automobile liability exposure with no verifiable fleet safety technology—such as dash cameras or telematics—in place, creating measurable operational and safety risk. This gap is especially critical given the district's student transportation responsibilities, where real-time visibility and incident documentation are essential.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026-2027 budget includes specific allocations for an ag truck purchase and student transportation capital, creating a direct funding pathway this cycle. A new Interim Superintendent with active hiring and purchasing authority further opens the window for prioritizing fleet safety investment before the fiscal year closes.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has a documented gap in WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance and faces an approaching DOJ WCAG 2.1 deadline. An active website redevelopment effort is underway but requires alignment with federal accessibility standards to avoid legal and equity risks.
The opportunity
The DOJ WCAG 2.1 deadline creates a firm, time-bound compliance driver, and the current budget cycle under new Interim Superintendent leadership offers a timely decision window. Integrating accessibility requirements into the ongoing redevelopment now avoids costly remediation and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a time-bound cybersecurity training mandate alongside a fragmented security environment, including potential tool overlap with existing Microsoft O365 infrastructure. Budget reductions in Data Processing and Security & Monitoring heighten the risk of unaddressed compliance gaps and operational exposure.
The opportunity
The recently adopted 2026–2027 budget and a new Interim Superintendent with immediate hiring authority create a current decision window. Right-sized, cost-effective solutions are well-suited to the district's scale and may align with cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →School Safety Camera Infrastructure Consolidation
Student Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented ecosystem of safety tools, limiting unified situational awareness and camera-based monitoring across school facilities. With an EOP review deadline approaching in September 2026 and documented communication vulnerabilities, gaps in physical security infrastructure elevate both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
A recently adopted FY 2026–2027 budget with technology allocations and a new Interim Superintendent with hiring authority create a favorable decision window. School camera grants are an active strategic priority, and cooperative procurement vehicles are in place to accelerate compliant purchasing.
