EOP Review & Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The institution faces an unverified Emergency Operations Plan with a hard September 2026 review deadline, a fragmented communication infrastructure that separates routine messaging from safety alerting, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises — creating measurable compliance and response-readiness gaps that elevate risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
A board-approved campus safety modernization initiative provides an active procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle, enabling consolidation of split communication systems before the September 2026 compliance deadline — reducing operational risk and strengthening emergency response outcomes district-wide.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance (WCAG 2.1)
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties face an April 2027 WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline, with ongoing testing and unconfirmed compliance status across key portals. Gaps in accessible communications tools elevate legal and equity risk for students, families, and community members who rely on these services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline and the active 2026–2027 budget cycle create a clear window to fund and advance this recognized but unfunded strategic initiative. Acting now allows time for assessment, remediation, and validation before the compliance forcing function arrives, reducing legal exposure and improving equitable access to public services.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Credential Security and Identity Compliance
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Active cybersecurity mandates are in place, but no implementation evidence exists for password security or incident reporting controls, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. The current identity and security environment lacks a unified credential management layer, leaving staff and student data exposed.
The opportunity
IT leadership transition creates a natural window to re-evaluate and strengthen credential management practices before the 2026–2027 budget cycle closes. Security-related renewals are already approved within the $2.5M annual IT spend, supporting new investment without requiring additional appropriations.

Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
Existing IT tools for network monitoring, asset management, vulnerability scanning, and firewall protection operate in silos, with no unified endpoint management layer — creating visibility gaps and operational risk. The 2026–2027 IT infrastructure modernization initiative is budget-approved, but fragmentation leaves devices and data inadequately governed across the institution.
The opportunity
Budget approval and June 2026 renewal cycles create an active, near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal year. An IT leadership transition adds urgency, as incoming leadership is positioned to accelerate consolidation decisions that reduce risk and improve operational continuity.

Campus Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved initiative to modernize integrated campus safety, surveillance, access control, screening, and alerting systems across a medium-to-large institution serving over 5,000 students. Fragmented communication systems and aging physical security infrastructure create operational gaps that elevate risk to students, staff, and campus continuity.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget has been approved and safety/security renewals are active, creating an immediate procurement window. Cooperative purchasing memberships are in place, reducing procurement friction and accelerating the path to implementation for this enterprise-scale initiative.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Fleet Visibility and Transportation Safety
Fleet Safety · Transportation Accountability
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in fleet visibility, driver monitoring, and evidence preservation — including the absence of dash cameras and telematics — create moderate operational risk. Without these safeguards, the institution lacks the accountability infrastructure needed to protect students, staff, and public assets.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 budget and procurement cycle, including approved safety and security modernization initiatives, creates a timely window to address these gaps proactively. Acting now supports preventive accountability, aligns with broader campus safety priorities, and avoids costlier reactive responses to future incidents.
