EOP Compliance & Campus Intruder Detection Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
YES Prep's EOP status is unestablished, a TEA unannounced intruder assessment resulted in a failure at one campus, and emergency communications broke down during prior lockdowns. With 14,562 students across the district, the active Texas EOP review cycle and board-level audit findings create compounding compliance and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget planning and an established cooperative purchasing framework support near-term procurement aligned with TEA compliance deadlines. Consolidating fragmented campus security and family notification systems now reduces operational risk and strengthens districtwide emergency response outcomes.

Cybersecurity & Compliance · Endpoint & Identity Protection
High Priority
About this project
The district has enacted a new Internet Safety and Cybersecurity policy and faces active state-mandated cybersecurity incident reporting requirements. A formal pilot program is underway, and the districtwide one-to-one device initiative significantly expands the endpoint attack surface requiring immediate governance and protection.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget planning and board-level urgency create a near-term procurement window. With $13.7M+ in annual IT spend and a pilot already in progress, the district is positioned to formalize a scalable solution that addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Network & Connectivity Modernization for Digital Learning
IT Modernization · Digital Learning Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district's current network infrastructure is insufficient to support its scale and digital learning goals, creating performance gaps that affect instruction and operations. With a districtwide one-to-one device initiative underway, unreliable connectivity poses direct risk to equitable student access and continuity of learning.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget planning makes this a priority window for infrastructure investment, and the district's established cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Addressing connectivity gaps now supports instructional continuity, cybersecurity posture, and long-term cost efficiency amid projected budget pressures.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Transportation Oversight Modernization
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
Recent student-involved bus accidents and an evidence gap in an outsourced fleet have exposed meaningful safety and accountability risks. Fragmented tracking platforms across the district further limit operational visibility and the ability to respond to incidents consistently.
The opportunity
Active fleet modernization planning through the SY2026–2027 van lease cycle creates a defined procurement window to address oversight gaps now. Aligning a unified tracking solution with this initiative supports clear ROI, strengthens student safety, and fits within active FY budget planning.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
YES Prep's public-facing digital properties face unresolved gaps against WCAG and ADA accessibility standards, with defined deadlines and stated consequences for continued non-compliance. Partial remediation efforts are in place, but incomplete coverage creates legal exposure and limits equitable access for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
Defined compliance deadlines make this a time-sensitive priority, and addressing gaps now reduces legal and reputational risk ahead of the upcoming FY27 budget cycle. Remediation also advances district-wide digital equity goals, improving public-facing communication for all 14,500+ students and their families.
Districtwide One-to-One Device & Managed Digital Learning Environment
EdTech Infrastructure · Endpoint & Identity Security
High Priority
About this project
YES Prep is scaling a one-to-one student laptop initiative across 14,562 students alongside a managed digital learning environment, significantly increasing endpoint complexity. This expansion heightens the need for unified device management and identity security, particularly given an active cybersecurity policy mandate and recent audit findings.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget planning and an approved $6.67M instructional software commitment signal both urgency and financial readiness for this initiative. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in use, streamlining procurement and enabling the district to act within the current planning cycle despite projected revenue pressures.
