EOP Review & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's multihazard Emergency Operations Plan is unverified, and the status of its crisis alert system is unknown — creating serious coordination risk across 100 campuses operating within correctional facilities. A vacant Director of Operational Support role compounds the urgency ahead of the TxSSC-mandated EOP review deadline of September 2026.
The opportunity
The September 2026 compliance deadline and August 31 fiscal year-end create a near-term window to act with existing budget capacity. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational and safety risk across a uniquely complex campus environment and aligns with the district's active technology modernization priorities.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gap across its digital properties, with no remediation plan in place and a regulatory deadline of April 2027/2028. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable access for students and staff relying on assistive technology.
The opportunity
A Texas Education Agency grant explicitly funds software and SaaS licenses for digital content and accessibility, offering a near-term funding pathway. With a $2.1M Data Processing Services budget increase and an August 31 fiscal year-end approaching, the district is positioned to act within the current planning cycle.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Modernization & Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively modernizing campus connectivity, IT infrastructure, and endpoint management, supported by legislative funding and a $5M+ annual technology investment. Fragmented systems and an existing ITSM environment present consolidation risks, while ongoing cybersecurity compliance requirements remain unconfirmed, elevating operational exposure across a complex, multi-campus environment.
The opportunity
Significant budget increases for Data Processing Services and IT staffing, driven by legislative support, create a strong near-term funding window ahead of the August 31 fiscal year-end. Advancing modernization and endpoint consolidation now reduces operational risk, strengthens compliance posture, and aligns with the district's active technology investment cycle.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a complex, multi-application environment with an active initiative around secure instructional-network access controls, yet no identity or privileged access governance solution has been publicly identified. This gap elevates risk of unauthorized access, credential misuse, and potential non-compliance with ongoing cybersecurity mandates.
The opportunity
With a $5M+ annual IT budget, significant increases in Data Processing Services spending, and an August 31 fiscal year-end creating a near-term decision window, conditions strongly favor action now. Addressing privileged access governance supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and aligns with the district's stated IT modernization priorities.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a multi-location, special-use fleet with no documented telematics or dash cam technology in place, leaving a preventive safety gap that cannot be independently verified through current procedures. Rising statewide automobile insurance premiums and an open Director of Operational Support position compound the financial and oversight risk.
The opportunity
The absence of an incumbent solution and the district's active technology modernization posture create a near-term window to establish fleet safety infrastructure before insurance pressures escalate. Procurement-eligible pathways through established cooperative purchasing programs support cost-effective, fiscally responsible implementation within the current budget cycle.
