EOP Development and District-Wide Public Safety Platform
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly verifiable, dated Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a single alert system with no disclosed backup or redundancy. Recurring severe weather exposure and an approaching safety and security audit deadline of September 2026 elevate both operational and compliance risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The district's approved 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated Security Services funding, and an active five-year safety platform evaluation signals a near-term procurement decision. Addressing EOP gaps now supports audit readiness, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with available cooperative procurement pathways.

High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a centralized endpoint management platform and relies on a basic help desk tool, leaving critical gaps in device visibility, threat response, and cybersecurity posture. Compliance mandates require annual cybersecurity training by August 31, 2026, with a safety and security audit deadline of September 15, 2026, elevating both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative offers state-funded support for managed endpoint detection, assessments, and software deployment, prioritizing small and rural districts. The district's approved 2026–2027 budget includes $513,575 for Data Processing, creating an active funding window aligned with near-term compliance deadlines.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a dedicated credential and password management platform, creating measurable exposure under active cybersecurity compliance mandates—including an annual training deadline of August 2026 and a security audit due September 2026. Without centralized credential controls, staff and student data remain vulnerable during the district's broader IT modernization effort.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides a near-term, state-funded pathway specifically aligned with credential management for small and mid-sized districts. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to close a greenfield security gap while leveraging approved Security Services budget allocations.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active initiative to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards ahead of the April 26, 2028 federal compliance deadline. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and limits equitable digital access for residents and students.
The opportunity
With leadership commitment and budget already approved, the district is positioned to pursue staged implementation within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces compliance risk and ensures accessible digital services are delivered equitably to the entire community.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates aging bus assets with no dash cameras or telematics, limiting incident documentation and creating insurance and cost exposure. This gap poses a preventive safety risk to students and increases operational liability without a proactive monitoring solution in place.
The opportunity
Federal clean school bus funding is anticipated later in 2026, offering a medium-term pathway to offset modernization costs. Acting now through cooperative purchasing allows the district to establish a telematics baseline, strengthen student safety outcomes, and align procurement ahead of the funding window.
