Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027, with identified gaps in digital content accessibility across public-facing portals and web services. Unresolved gaps elevate legal and regulatory risk while limiting equitable access to digital resources for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates clear urgency, and the district's FY2027 Technology Infrastructure and Refresh Fund allocation signals active budget availability. Advancing remediation now supports compliance, reduces institutional risk, and aligns with the district's named Website & Digital Services strategic initiative.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented multi-platform notification environment with unvalidated mass alert coverage and an EOP of unknown currency, creating measurable gaps in emergency response readiness. A recent severe weather closure and an active safety audit cycle ending August 2027 elevate both operational and compliance risk for students, staff, and campus communities.
The opportunity
The safety audit deadline of August 2027 creates a defined and near-term decision window for consolidating emergency communications and validating EOP compliance. With approximately $2.7 million allocated annually to emergency management technology and cooperative purchasing available through Texas DIR, the procurement path is accessible and budget is demonstrably active.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent cybersecurity incident, an active MFA mandate, and an ongoing ERP replacement have expanded the district's risk surface across identity, access, and endpoint environments. Gaps in IAM and endpoint management create compounding vulnerabilities that threaten operational continuity and student data integrity.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes $16M across Technology Infrastructure and Capital Improvement funds, and grant opportunities tied to student training use cases provide additional pathways for cybersecurity investment. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with active budget cycles and reduces exposure from the recent incident.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has named endpoint management and IT modernization as strategic priorities, supported by an active ERP replacement and a technology refresh cycle. Open IT leadership positions and moderate executive turnover signal a critical window for re-evaluating existing management toolsets and launching new initiatives.
The opportunity
A dedicated FY2027 Technology Infrastructure and Refresh Fund ($4M) is actively available, with additional grant pathways supporting instructional and IT management equipment. Aligning this initiative with current budget cycles and cooperative procurement vehicles reduces cost burden and accelerates implementation.

IT Modernization · Higher Education Operations
High Priority
About this project
An active ERP modernization program is underway as a high-urgency strategic initiative, requiring a full overhaul of core finance, HR, and operational systems. The complexity of this replacement introduces integration risk, data governance concerns, and continuity demands across the institution.
The opportunity
With $12M already allocated to the Capital Improvement Fund in the approved FY2027 budget, decision-making authority and spending capacity are actively engaged. Acting within this cycle ensures alignment with institutional planning timelines and reduces operational risk during the transition.
