Mass Notification System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification system is failing to meet operational needs, and fragmented communication tools across the organization are creating consolidation risk and critical gaps in emergency alerting. A Tennessee mandate for Emergency Operations Plans and a high emergency preparedness gap score underscore the compliance and public safety urgency.
The opportunity
With an active vendor evaluation underway and procurement expected within 90 days, the FY26-27 proposed budget includes dedicated emergency management and public safety technology funding to support a clear path forward. Acting now aligns with budget cycle timing and reduces operational and compliance risk before the next emergency event.
Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A Tennessee state mandate requires a current Emergency Operations Plan, and an active GIS outage notification initiative has exposed gaps in the existing mass notification infrastructure. These compliance and operational gaps elevate risk to public safety continuity and staff coordination during critical incidents.
The opportunity
FY26-27 proposed budget increases for Emergency Management and an active opioid abatement grant cycle signal strong procurement readiness. Addressing the EOP mandate and consolidating fragmented notification systems now aligns with compliance deadlines, budget timing, and improved public safety outcomes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a federal WCAG/ADA web accessibility mandate with an active deadline, creating legal exposure and public access risk across its digital properties. This gap affects residents' equitable access to services and aligns with an ongoing Website & Digital Services initiative centered on a Customer Service Hub.
The opportunity
The federal compliance deadline creates hard urgency, and an existing budget allocation in this category confirms fiscal readiness within the current planning cycle. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances equitable digital access, and positions the initiative within an already-funded strategic priority.
Unified Endpoint and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's fragmented technology environment—spanning multiple platforms and endpoint management tools—creates gaps in device oversight, security posture, and operational consistency. A strategic initiative toward Zero Trust architecture and unified endpoint management is underway, with general state cybersecurity requirements adding compliance pressure.
The opportunity
FY26-27 budget allocations specifically earmark funding for IT operations and infrastructure investments, creating a timely window to consolidate endpoint management and advance Zero Trust goals. Acting within this fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens long-term operational resilience across the district.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Accountability Modernization
Fleet Operations · Public Accountability
High Priority
About this project
The district operates without dash cameras or telematics, relying solely on retrospective insurance data to reconstruct incidents — limiting visibility, defensibility, and operational accountability. This gap increases liability exposure and reduces the district's ability to proactively manage fleet risk and driver safety.
The opportunity
With over $2 million in annual IT spend and an FY26–27 budget reflecting increased investment in public safety infrastructure, the district has the budgetary capacity to pilot a telematics program in the current planning cycle. Acting now establishes a data foundation for risk reduction, insurance defensibility, and long-term operational accountability.
