Fleet Safety Technology for School Bus Operations
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent fatal school bus incident, documented by MIOSHA, has exposed a critical gap in the district's fleet safety program. Without objective driver behavior data and risk reduction tools, the district faces ongoing liability, regulatory scrutiny, and unmitigated risk to student safety.
The opportunity
The severity of the incident creates a compelling case for high-urgency budget justification, and cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline procurement within the current fiscal window. Acting now reduces operational and legal risk while demonstrating accountability to the community.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has limited mass notification capabilities, and has no formal exercises or audits on record. Recent severe weather declarations underscore the preparedness gap and elevate compliance risk tied to EOP maintenance mandates.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant is active with an August 2026 deadline, offering a direct funding path for emergency notification and safety technologies. Acting within the current grant window and upcoming budget cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens district-wide preparedness outcomes.

Cybersecurity · Identity Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks enterprise password management and multi-factor authentication, leaving staff accounts and sensitive data exposed to credential-based threats. These gaps represent significant security risk for a district already navigating constrained discretionary budgets and active technology procurement.
The opportunity
The COPS SVPP grant, active through August 2026, offers a secondary funding path for cybersecurity initiatives, and the June 2026 budget hearing creates a near-term decision window. Addressing identity security now reduces operational risk, supports compliance posture, and aligns with the district's existing openness to expanding security tooling.

Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint & Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a mixed device fleet without a unified endpoint management solution, creating gaps in device oversight, security patching, and technical support. These vulnerabilities expose the district to operational disruption and cybersecurity risk across student and staff systems.
The opportunity
The 2025 District Tech RFP and June 2026 budget hearing represent an active decision window, and cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline procurement. Addressing endpoint management now supports IT continuity, reduces security exposure, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
