EOP Compliance and Emergency Communication Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Terrell ISD faces documented emergency preparedness gaps, including no verified current EOP review date, unconfirmed school-safety funding application, and a prior communication failure during a 2018 lockdown. Texas Education Code §37.108 mandates a multihazard EOP, and ongoing non-compliance carries escalating consequences for student and staff safety.
The opportunity
An adopted 2026–2027 budget, an active technology-services solicitation, and a $273.4M bond program with safety and security allocations create an immediate, well-funded procurement window. Addressing EOP and communication gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens crisis response, and aligns with current fiscal-year planning cycles.
Web Accessibility Compliance Modernization for WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Terrell ISD faces a federal mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards by April 26, 2028, with identified gaps in accessible digital content and communication platforms. Failure to remediate risks non-compliance, inequitable access for students and families, and undermines the district's Instructional Materials Transparency and Parental Engagement strategic initiative.
The opportunity
The April 2028 compliance deadline creates a defined planning and implementation window, and the Interactive Online Learning Grant offers a named funding path to offset costs. Acting within the current budget cycle aligns remediation efforts with the district's adopted 2026–2027 budget and cooperative purchasing agreements, reducing procurement friction and protecting equitable access for all students and families.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Infrastructure & Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Terrell ISD is subject to Texas Education Code §11.175, requiring ongoing cybersecurity compliance, while recent safety and security audits have surfaced active gaps in endpoint visibility and security monitoring. A $452,636.50 general-fund technology refresh and dedicated security/monitoring budget allocations signal urgency to address these risks before they result in non-compliance or a breach affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative grant offers a direct funding path, and the district's newly adopted 2026–2027 budget with an active technology-services RFP creates an immediate procurement window. Acting within this cycle allows the district to close compliance gaps, reduce operational risk, and maximize available state funding before the window closes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Visibility & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces operational gaps in contractor-fleet visibility, incomplete onboard video coverage, and rising workers-compensation pressure within its transportation program. These risks, while not yet tied to documented incidents, represent growing liability and safety oversight concerns for students and staff.
The opportunity
The district's approved bond program and active technology refresh budget create a viable funding pathway for fleet modernization in the current planning cycle. Addressing visibility and video coverage gaps now reduces liability exposure and strengthens transportation accountability before risks escalate.
