Emergency Operations Plan Review & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
This charter school network carries an Emergency Preparedness Score of 2, reflecting critical gaps: unknown EOP age and review status, undocumented mass-notification contract renewals, and no public after-action reviews. An immediate EOP review deadline creates high-urgency compliance pressure affecting the safety of over 22,000 students and staff.
The opportunity
A new network-level CEO as of January 2026 is likely to trigger strategic safety and operational reviews, creating a near-term window to advance EOP compliance and close preparedness gaps. Existing communication infrastructure and FY26 budget growth support expanded investment, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement.
Network-Wide Cybersecurity Modernization & Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity & Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
This charter school network is actively pursuing cybersecurity modernization to meet Texas state cybersecurity policy mandates, with in-flight initiatives spanning enterprise credential management and endpoint security. Gaps in these areas expose student data, staff systems, and network infrastructure to compliance risk and potential breach.
The opportunity
A significant FY26 IT budget increase signals an active procurement window aligned with this initiative. Addressing cybersecurity and endpoint management now supports Texas compliance mandates, reduces organizational risk, and leverages current budget capacity before the fiscal cycle closes.
Emergency Communication Platform Rollout
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
A network-wide emergency communication platform is actively being deployed to close a critical gap in real-time outreach to parents and staff during incidents. Without a fully operational system, the organization faces elevated risk during emergencies alongside an overdue EOP review requirement.
The opportunity
Procurement decisions are near-term, and the FY26 IT budget reflects significant investment capacity alongside cooperative purchasing options that can accelerate implementation. Acting now supports compliance, strengthens emergency preparedness, and improves safety outcomes across a large student population.
Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation (WCAG 2.1)
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The organization faces high-urgency compliance exposure tied to WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandates across its digital properties, creating legal and regulatory risk. Inaccessible portals and online content limit equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
An available grant opportunity tied to accessible online learning content offers a potential funding pathway, and FY26 budget growth signals capacity to act. Addressing remediation now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and aligns with active compliance timelines.

Student Safety · EdTech Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Uplift Education has received a TEA Phone-Free Schools Grant award of $136,838 to implement device management or physical infrastructure supporting phone-free campus policies across its 22,183-student network. Without timely deployment, awarded funds risk going unspent and campuses remain without compliant enforcement infrastructure.
The opportunity
Grant funding is awarded and ready to deploy, creating a near-term, fully funded procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement, reduce administrative burden, and ensure compliant, on-time delivery across the network.
