Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Safety Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and a reliable mass notification system, creating significant operational safety risks. MCL 380.1308b mandates biennial EOP review and NIMS implementation is required for funding eligibility, representing active statutory compliance gaps.
The opportunity
Statutory deadlines and aligned federal grant programs create an urgent, defined window to address both compliance and preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current cycle supports funding eligibility, strengthens student and staff safety, and aligns with cooperative purchasing for streamlined procurement.
District-Wide Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a unified mass notification system, leaving parents without reliable emergency and routine alerts — a gap actively flagged by the community. State compliance mandates (MCL 380.1308b) and NIMS eligibility requirements for emergency preparedness funding elevate the urgency for immediate action.
The opportunity
Federal and state grant programs aligned to emergency preparedness — including hazard mitigation and community safety initiatives — may offset procurement costs with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle supports compliance, strengthens community trust, and ensures students and staff are protected by a reliable, district-wide alert infrastructure.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An OCR Resolution Agreement requires the district to establish a Web Accessibility Policy, complete audits, and implement corrective actions within a defined timeline. Non-compliance exposes the district to legal liability and reputational harm, while ongoing parent portal operations remain at risk.
The opportunity
The OCR Resolution Agreement creates a time-bound, externally mandated procurement window that aligns with current fiscal planning cycles. Acting now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable digital access for all families, and may qualify for state or cooperative purchasing pathways.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district runs an active transportation program across rural routes with older vehicles, but lacks dash cameras or fleet telematics. This gap increases collision risk, limits post-incident documentation, and leaves the district with limited operational visibility and liability defense.
The opportunity
The absence of any existing solution and an active transportation initiative signal a viable near-term procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline contracting, and relevant grant programs may offset costs, making this an actionable priority within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cross-Platform Credential Security for K–12 Devices
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's mixed Chromebook and iPad environment creates cross-platform credential vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to student and staff data. Without a unified password management approach, credential-based security incidents remain a persistent operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Password and credential management solutions are among the most cost-effective security investments available, making them viable even amid constrained school-aid budgets. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces breach exposure and may align with cooperative purchasing programs already used by the district.
