Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
YES Prep's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified, intruder-detection audit findings remain unresolved, and mass notification relies on a platform without a defined lifecycle plan. Recent severe weather declarations and an unannounced intruder detection audit expose compliance and operational gaps affecting over 14,000 students.
The opportunity
Texas's mandated EOP review deadline of 2026–27 creates a firm compliance window, while FY27 budget approval and new campus construction signal active investment capacity. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit exposure, strengthens campus safety, and aligns with current funding and planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Modernization & Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative spans endpoint management, identity, monitoring, SOC, and next-generation firewall — yet a 1:1 student device environment currently lacks a confirmed endpoint management solution and password management remains an unaddressed gap. Recent intruder detection audit findings add compliance and operational urgency for over 14,500 students and staff.
The opportunity
FY27 budget has been approved with continued technology investment, confirming funding availability despite a revenue shortfall. A leadership transition in IT and an active cybersecurity pilot create an immediate window to close critical security gaps, strengthen data protection, and align with district-wide modernization priorities before the fiscal cycle advances.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
YES Prep faces a federal mandate under ADA Title II requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance for public-facing digital portals by 2028. Remediation gaps remain across third-party platforms, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline supports a phased remediation approach, and the Instructional Materials and Technology Allotment (IMTA) may offset costs for student-facing accessibility components. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows for structured planning, budget alignment, and reduced compliance risk ahead of enforcement.
Campus Audiovisual Infrastructure Upgrade and Expansion
Facilities & Construction · EdTech Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP for audiovisual systems is open with a submission deadline of September 4, 2026, alongside new campus construction at Northside Secondary creating immediate infrastructure needs. Failure to act risks missing the procurement window and leaving a new facility without integrated AV systems at opening.
The opportunity
FY27 budget approval and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path for this project. Acting within the current RFP window ensures new construction is equipped on schedule and aligns capital investment with approved funding cycles.

Discuss this project →Fleet Tracking & Transportation Safety Consolidation
Student Transportation · Operational Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates across split bus tracking platforms, creating contractor oversight gaps, camera evidence deficiencies, and seatbelt compliance concerns. While no incidents have been recorded, fragmented systems limit visibility and accountability across the student transportation network.
The opportunity
New campus construction and an approved FY27 budget create a timely window to consolidate transportation infrastructure before operational complexity grows. Addressing platform fragmentation now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens student safety oversight ahead of expanded fleet demands.
