EOP Update and Mass Notification Unification
School Safety Compliance · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces documented emergency preparedness gaps—including a pending MEOP update, unresolved DVA corrective actions, and a fragmented notification system spanning text, social media, and ClassDojo—with an August 2026 TEA school-safety compliance review deadline and an interim Safety and Compliance lead in place.
The opportunity
The 2026 EOP review cycle carries defined consequences for non-compliance, and confirmed FY27 budget increases for Security Monitoring and Data Processing Services create a funded, time-sensitive window to unify communications and close preparedness gaps before the 2027–28 school year.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks dash-camera and telematics capabilities, and accountability for fleet inspection and maintenance remains unclear. Legacy GPS tracking and routing tools create integration gaps that limit operational oversight and student transportation safety.
The opportunity
The 2026–27 community transportation initiative is budget-approved with a defined procurement window ahead of the 2027–28 school year. Acting now aligns with approved funding, closes evidence and accountability gaps, and positions the district for safer, more defensible fleet operations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Program
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has an active commitment to WCAG 2.1/2.0 Level AA compliance with an existing CMS ecosystem that supports accessibility integration. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to district information for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
An August 2026 school-safety compliance review and an active website initiative create a near-term evaluation window, while an established IT and software budget of over $635K signals capacity to act. Addressing WCAG compliance now reduces legal risk and advances equitable digital access ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently lacks any password security tooling, representing a critical foundational gap in its cybersecurity posture. This absence elevates risk to student data, staff systems, and institutional continuity, and directly conflicts with the district's stated strategic priority to establish baseline cybersecurity controls.
The opportunity
FY27 budget allocations for Security Monitoring ($414,508) and Data Processing Services ($893,697) confirm available funding capacity for near-term action. Addressing this greenfield gap now — with no existing tooling to displace — positions the district to reduce institutional risk ahead of the August 2026 school-safety compliance review.

IT Modernization · Data Management
High Priority
About this project
The academy has identified network technology and data-processing support as a strategic initiative, backed by an increased FY27 Data Processing Services budget of $893,697. The current environment involves multiple IT partners, creating potential fragmentation in service delivery, oversight, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget allocations confirm leadership commitment to this investment area, and the upcoming fiscal cycle presents a timely window to consolidate and modernize IT management. Addressing fragmentation now reduces operational risk and improves stewardship of public technology funds.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Campus Safety Infrastructure & Security Monitoring
Campus Safety · School Security Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy carries unresolved DVA corrective actions and a pending MEOP update, while relying on fragmented communication channels for emergency notifications. With an August 2026 TEA school-safety compliance review approaching, gaps in security monitoring and emergency preparedness pose escalating regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
FY27 Security Monitoring funding is confirmed and increased to $414,508, and the Phone Free Schools grant offers a dedicated pathway for campus safety infrastructure investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses open corrective actions, advances TEA compliance, and strengthens safety outcomes for students and staff.
