EOP Compliance & Intruder Detection Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an unconfirmed Emergency Operations Plan status, a failed intruder-detection audit from May 2026, and a fragmented mass notification environment across two separate platforms. These gaps create immediate compliance exposure tied to the Texas EOP review deadline of September 30, 2026, and represent a critical deficiency in student and staff safety readiness.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $140M bond includes dedicated funding for security infrastructure, and confirmed cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement timelines within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now resolves active audit findings, meets the state EOP deadline, and strengthens district-wide emergency preparedness before the 2026–27 school year.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active compliance obligations under Texas Education Code §11.175 and must manage a complex technology ecosystem requiring unified identity, endpoint, and asset oversight. Gaps in 1:1 device management, network maintenance, and a single-source inventory system elevate operational and security risk across staff and students.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $4M technology bond allocation and the state-funded K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative create a well-timed funding path for this work. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with available appropriations, reduces compliance exposure under §11.175, and strengthens district-wide security posture for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Forms Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Transformation
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a regulatory obligation to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by April 26, 2028, while also pursuing a strategic initiative to digitize district forms and processes. Failure to act creates compliance exposure and leaves operational inefficiencies unaddressed for staff, families, and students.
The opportunity
Planning and procurement must begin well ahead of the 2028 deadline, and the district's $645k Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment (IMTA) provides a near-term, identified funding path for accessibility-adjacent technology. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to meet compliance requirements while advancing broader digital service delivery goals.

Discuss this project →Fleet Expansion, Telematics & Transportation Safety
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an aging fleet with documented seatbelt compliance concerns and retrofit costs estimated at $800K–$3.1M, while lacking a comprehensive telematics platform despite existing bus cameras. Incomplete incident visibility and unresolved safety gaps compound operational and liability risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $140M bond—including dedicated funding for new buses—creates a direct, time-sensitive procurement trigger to integrate fleet technology alongside new vehicle acquisition. Co-op purchasing vehicles are confirmed, enabling streamlined procurement and faster deployment aligned with the current budget cycle.

IT Modernization · Student Technology Access
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 Chromebook Initiative and infrastructure goals require unified asset inventory, reliable network and equipment maintenance with defined SLA targets, and equitable device access for all students. Gaps in centralized device management create operational risk and limit the district's ability to meet its technology equity commitments.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $4M technology and device allocation within a $140M bond package, combined with the Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment, provides immediate and stackable funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to meet procurement thresholds efficiently through established cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates two separate platforms for parent and community emergency communications, creating inconsistency that undermines unified incident response. This fragmented environment directly contributes to emergency preparedness gaps flagged in the required Texas EOP review, elevating compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The Texas EOP review deadline of September 30, 2026 creates a near-term compliance driver, and bond-funded security infrastructure allocations provide a viable budget pathway. Confirmed cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement, reducing time-to-compliance and strengthening district-wide emergency response.
