Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a current multihazard Emergency Operations Plan, has no dedicated mass notification platform for critical alerting, and is missing required public after-action findings. A mandated safety and security audit with a 2026 compliance deadline elevates risk to campus safety and institutional standing.
The opportunity
The 2026 compliance deadline creates an immediate planning window, and budget has been approved under the Emergency Management & Public Safety strategic initiative. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining procurement and accelerating the path to compliance and improved campus safety outcomes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has board-approved plans to modernize IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, including endpoint protection and remote monitoring capabilities, with renewals converging in June 2026. General Texas cybersecurity compliance requirements apply, and gaps in dedicated management tooling elevate operational and security risk across campus systems serving over 5,000 students.
The opportunity
Board approvals and confirmed funding—including an $850,000 donation and a $57,247 TEA grant—are already in place, with a defined June 2026 decision window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity, reduces compliance exposure, and maximizes alignment with available resources before the renewal deadline.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The academy operates Active Directory and Google SSO but lacks a dedicated identity and password management solution, leaving credential and privileged access controls exposed. As IT infrastructure scales, this gap increases security risk for staff, students, and institutional data under Texas cybersecurity requirements.
The opportunity
Board-approved cybersecurity modernization funding and a June 2026 renewal window create a near-term decision point to close this greenfield gap. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with active budget approvals and supports the institution's broader IT security and compliance posture.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has identified gaps in accessible digital content creation and management workflows, creating legal compliance risk under Section 508/WCAG 2.1 and barriers to equitable access for students and stakeholders. A federal compliance deadline of April 2028 establishes a defined planning window, but workflow gaps require near-term action to avoid compounding risk.
The opportunity
A confirmed grant opportunity with a September 25, 2026 deadline — for which the organization is eligible and which permits software and SaaS licenses — provides an immediate, low-barrier funding path. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with the current grant cycle and supports equitable digital access ahead of the federal WCAG 2.1 deadline.

IT Modernization · Data Governance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has a board-approved initiative to modernize data management, backup, and IT operational workflows, with significant annual technology spend already in place. Fragmented systems and aging infrastructure create operational risk and inefficiency that undermine staff productivity and institutional continuity.
The opportunity
A June 2026 technology renewal cycle creates a near-term window to consolidate and upgrade systems under existing budget approvals and board-authorized capital improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes procurement efficiency and positions the institution for sustained operational resilience.
