Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance Recovery
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately six years old with no documented exercises, audits, or modern mass-notification capability. This gap creates significant compliance risk and leaves students, staff, and the broader community operationally vulnerable during emergencies.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs—including JAG, HSGP, and BRIC—are directly aligned with emergency communications and school safety initiatives, offering viable funding paths with the FY26–27 budget now adopted. Addressing this overdue gap now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community-wide emergency readiness.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a modern mass-notification system and relies on fragmented communication channels, limiting its ability to reach staff, students, and families during critical incidents. This gap compounds an overdue emergency preparedness posture and elevates operational and safety risk across the community.
The opportunity
The FY26-27 budget is approved and active grant programs covering emergency communications and school safety provide clear, accessible funding paths. Consolidating communication channels now reduces incident response risk and aligns with current procurement windows and compliance expectations.
Cybersecurity & Password Management Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Following a confirmed 2022 cyberattack, the district faces compounding risk from an expiring firewall contract, aging UPS infrastructure, and identified gaps in password security. These vulnerabilities elevate exposure to data breaches, service disruption, and post-incident compliance scrutiny affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
Active E-Rate procurement and applicable grant programs (JAG, HSGP) provide near-term funding pathways for cybersecurity infrastructure with limited local match required. Aligning this project with the approved FY26–27 budget cycle positions the district to close critical security gaps before risk escalates further.
IT Infrastructure Refresh: Firewall, UPS & Network Switching
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an expiring firewall contract and aging UPS units, creating immediate gaps in network security and power continuity — risks heightened by a prior cyber incident. Active E-Rate procurement for firewall, UPS, and switching infrastructure signals this initiative is already in motion.
The opportunity
With the FY26-27 budget adopted and E-Rate procurement already underway, the window to act is defined and near-term. Completing this refresh strengthens cybersecurity posture, ensures operational continuity, and leverages existing procurement vehicles and potential federal funding eligibility.

Pupil Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's school bus fleet lacks documented dashcam or telematics coverage, creating evidentiary gaps and unmitigated safety risk for students. A strategic Pupil Transportation initiative is underway, and an open Transportation Director role signals near-term leadership focus on this operational area.
The opportunity
The FY26–27 budget includes dedicated pupil transportation line items, providing a clear funding pathway for fleet safety improvements. Acting within this budget cycle supports incoming transportation leadership and strengthens student safety outcomes through cooperative procurement channels.
