Emergency Operations Plan Development & Review
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Adrian Public Schools has an overdue Emergency Operations Plan with documented gaps in preparedness, exercise variety, and district-wide mass notification. Compliance mandates require active EOP maintenance, and participation in the Lenawee County Hazard Mitigation Plan elevates the urgency of formalizing a comprehensive emergency management framework.
The opportunity
Multiple federal and state grant programs are available to fund emergency preparedness initiatives, and the district's healthy reserves provide additional capacity to act. Addressing this now reduces compliance and safety risk, strengthens community trust, and positions the district to meet mandated review cycles ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning window.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a formal mass notification system, creating a critical gap in emergency communication for staff, students, and families. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, this absence elevates compliance and operational risk during incidents or hazard events.
The opportunity
Emergency preparedness funding streams are actively available and explicitly support mass notification and hazard mitigation initiatives, with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle strengthens EOP compliance, reduces liability, and improves safety outcomes for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district is operating under a legally binding OCR Resolution Agreement tied to web accessibility deficiencies, with a recent audit identifying specific compliance gaps across public-facing digital properties. Failure to remediate creates sustained legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
A contract renewal window in late April 2027 creates a clear, near-term procurement milestone, and cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline the process. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, supports equitable digital access, and positions the district ahead of enforcement escalation.
MITN (BidNet Direct)
Discuss this project →Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a mixed ChromeOS and Windows environment with no standardized password management solution in place, creating credential security gaps across staff and student systems. Cybersecurity mandates require consistent endpoint protection, and unaddressed vulnerabilities elevate risk of data breach and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding offers a viable path to address this gap with limited local budget impact, aligning with the district's demonstrated commitment to security investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk and positions the district to meet evolving cybersecurity compliance requirements.
Contractor Fleet Safety & Student Transportation Oversight
Student Safety · Fleet & Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on contracted transportation with no formal telematics or dashcam policy, leaving administrators with limited visibility into student safety on the road. This gap creates liability exposure and complicates compliance with annual bus inspection and transportation safety mandates.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement pathways and grant programs aligned with transportation safety can reduce the local funding burden for implementing fleet visibility standards. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close a documented liability gap and strengthen its duty of care for students.
