Emergency Operations Plan & Integrated EOC Development
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a formally dated Emergency Operations Plan and an integrated EOC, relying on fragmented communication channels without central coordination. A 2025 wildfire incident exposed critical notification gaps, and two hard compliance deadlines—a safety-security audit (September 15, 2026) and EOP review (September 30, 2026)—elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Dual compliance deadlines in fall 2026, an approved 2026–2027 security budget, and a leadership transition create a timely window to advance this named district strategic priority. Acting now reduces audit exposure, strengthens community trust, and positions the district to align spending with available security and emergency management funding pathways.
Unify Mass Notification for Crisis Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's crisis communication relies on fragmented channels with no unified notification platform, a gap exposed during a 2025 wildfire when timely stakeholder alerts were delayed. Mandatory EOP review (September 2026) and a safety-security audit (September 2026) elevate compliance and operational risk if infrastructure gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines in fall 2026 create a clear forcing function to act within the current fiscal cycle. The district's approved 2026–2027 security budget allocation provides a direct funding pathway, and unified notification infrastructure supports both emergency preparedness mandates and districtwide coordination goals.
Strengthen District Credential Security and Access Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's cybersecurity environment includes a basic password strength tool but lacks an enterprise-grade credential management solution, leaving staff and student data exposed to credential-based threats. This documented gap falls within an approved IT infrastructure and network security initiative, elevating both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The adopted 2026–2027 budget allocates over $779,000 across security and data processing, with confirmed eligibility under the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a critical security gap and aligns with the district's approved strategic priorities.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has a formally adopted strategic initiative for ongoing IT infrastructure, endpoint support, and network security, backed by an approved Data Processing budget of $297,237. Gaps in enterprise-level security controls present operational and compliance risk as cybersecurity mandates for K-12 institutions continue to expand.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget cycle includes dedicated Security and Monitoring allocations, and the Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a statewide funding pathway aligned to this exact category of need. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the district to close security gaps, support an incoming permanent superintendent, and maximize available program funding.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has an established bus camera system but lacks a unified GPS and fleet management platform, creating gaps in real-time student tracking, driver monitoring, and passenger-restraint compliance documentation. Without integrated telematics, transportation staff and families have limited visibility into bus location and student safety status.
The opportunity
A named district initiative for school-bus telematics and parent-facing tracking signals leadership alignment and procurement readiness, with capital transportation spending already reflected in recent budget agenda items. Expanding existing infrastructure now supports compliance, strengthens family communication, and leverages cooperative purchasing agreements for a streamlined procurement path.
Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's websites and digital documents do not fully meet WCAG 2.0–2.1 A/AA accessibility standards, creating unequal access for students, families, and staff with disabilities. Fragmented tooling across digital properties leaves compliance gaps that carry legal and reputational risk for the district.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 compliance is a high-urgency operational priority, and staging remediation by risk severity can align with the current budget cycle and approved data processing allocations. Addressing gaps now reduces legal exposure and demonstrates equitable service delivery to all community members.
