EOP Review & Emergency Preparedness Consolidation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Westwood ISD has documented accountability and reunification weaknesses identified during a fire drill, and current EOP status is unverified. Fragmented emergency management and parent communication tools compound compliance risk for a district responsible for over 1,300 students.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and proposed $40M bond create a timely opening for strategic re-evaluation, while the August budget cycle is an active decision window. Consolidating preparedness systems now addresses a direct compliance mandate and reduces operational exposure for students, staff, and families.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, with current website and workflow platforms presenting documented accessibility gaps. Without remediation, the district risks civil rights exposure and fails to ensure equitable digital access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
Grant funding tied to assistive technology and interactive online learning is available and aligns directly with this compliance need. Acting within the current budget cycle and active technology decision window positions the district to meet the federal deadline, reduce legal risk, and advance equitable access for all community members.

Cybersecurity · K-12 IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a state-mandated annual cybersecurity training and policy requirement, with growing IT complexity increasing exposure to credential and endpoint risks. Rising Data Processing expenditures signal expanding technology investment that must be matched with appropriate security controls and governance.
The opportunity
The Texas K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative provides state-funded support, reducing local cost burden, and the August budget cycle creates a timely procurement window. Acting now ensures compliance, reduces operational risk, and positions the district to leverage available grant funding before the fiscal year closes.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Student Fleet Safety & Transportation Monitoring
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district transports 1,500 students daily using a fleet with basic tracking but no documented advanced safety technology such as dash cameras or driver behavior monitoring. This gap creates high-consequence exposure for students, staff, and the district's duty-of-care obligations.
The opportunity
A proposed $167,459 increase in Pupil Transportation expenditures signals an active, funded decision window aligned with the current budget cycle. Expanding on existing fleet infrastructure now reduces operational risk and supports responsible stewardship of public funds dedicated to student safety.
