Unify Emergency Notifications and Close EOP Compliance Gaps
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan and operates separate notification systems for community and staff, with no after-action review completed following a recent severe weather event. Active Texas EOP review obligations create a direct compliance mandate, and the fragmented notification environment elevates risk during time-critical incidents.
The opportunity
A funded campus emergency communications and lockdown-response modernization initiative, combined with the current fiscal planning cycle, creates a timely window to consolidate notification systems and satisfy state compliance requirements. Acting now reduces operational and liability risk while aligning with available cooperative procurement pathways that minimize administrative burden.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's website currently references an outdated WCAG 2.0 accessibility standard, creating legal compliance exposure ahead of the April 2028 WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline. This gap limits equitable access to digital resources for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
Assistive Technology Grants offer a direct funding pathway for accessibility improvements, reducing the burden on the general fund. Acting ahead of the April 2028 deadline mitigates legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's one-to-one student device program and annual technology governance policy create significant endpoint management and credential security obligations. Dedicated budget exists for data processing and security monitoring, yet gaps in unified oversight elevate risk to student data and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 security and data-processing appropriations provide an open budget window, and the Rural and Low-Income School Program represents a potential grant pathway for eligible technology investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to close security gaps, strengthen compliance posture, and protect public trust.

Fleet Safety Management · Student Transportation Risk
High Priority
About this project
The district's student transportation program relies on manual procedures rather than technology-driven oversight, creating limited visibility into fleet operations and elevated liability exposure. Without proactive risk management controls in place, the district remains vulnerable to preventable incidents and the financial and reputational consequences that follow.
The opportunity
An increase in Transportation Services appropriations in the current budget cycle creates a timely funding pathway to address these gaps before an incident occurs. Acting within this fiscal window supports liability reduction, strengthens student safety outcomes, and aligns investment with available appropriations.
