Unify Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Systems
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a mandatory EOP review deadline of September 2026 with measurable preparedness gaps, including fragmented mass notification platforms and no unified emergency management solution. A recent severe weather event produced no documented after-action findings, elevating operational and compliance risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The September 2026 compliance deadline creates an immediate procurement window, supported by approximately $1.5 million in allocated public safety technology funding and identified grant eligibility for silent panic-alert systems. Recent leadership transitions and the upcoming fiscal cycle further position the district to act decisively on a unified solution.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on fragmented communication platforms with no unified mass-notification solution, creating critical gaps in coordinated outreach to students, families, and staff during emergencies. Contract management risks around existing notification tools compound exposure ahead of a mandatory EOP compliance review deadline.
The opportunity
With an EOP compliance deadline of September 2026 and safety grant funding potentially applicable, the window to act is immediate. A recently adopted district budget and cooperative purchasing agreements support an accelerated, cost-effective procurement path aligned to this fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's current accessibility program targets WCAG 2.0, falling short of the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard required by April 2027. This compliance gap exposes the district to legal and accessibility risk across all public-facing digital portals serving students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
An active Interactive Online Learning Grant with a September 2026 deadline explicitly covers software and SaaS licenses, offering a near-term funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the recently adopted FY2026 budget and potential VATRE election proceeds, reducing future remediation costs.

High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a confirmed remote monitoring and management solution and has unconfirmed password management tooling, creating measurable security gaps. Upcoming expirations of security infrastructure and technology agreements within 18 months elevate refresh risk, compounded by a recent leadership transition in the technology department.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Technology Director, combined with contract expirations converging within 18 months and an annual IT spend exceeding $1.8M, creates a well-defined procurement window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to consolidate security tooling, reduce operational risk, and align investments with available cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Fleet Safety and Student Transportation Oversight
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's large bus fleet serving nearly 8,000 students currently lacks confirmed telematics or monitoring solutions, creating visibility gaps in driver behavior and incident documentation. Without proactive oversight tools, the district faces growing operational risk and limited ability to substantiate safety performance or respond to incidents.
The opportunity
A November 2026 voter-approved tax initiative could generate up to $6 million for operations and student technology, creating a near-term funding pathway for fleet safety investments. Acting ahead of that cycle positions the district to deploy solutions efficiently, strengthen student safety outcomes, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources.
