Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces significant emergency preparedness gaps — including an overdue EOP review, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and no active mass notification system — in direct conflict with Michigan state law and HSEEP compliance guidance. These deficiencies create acute safety and regulatory risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program grant, with a 2026 deadline, explicitly funds expedited notification technology, offering a clear and time-sensitive funding path. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes critical safety gaps, and aligns with existing emergency management budget allocations.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing website includes an active accessibility complaint routing mechanism, signaling an ongoing WCAG 2.1 compliance obligation and potential legal exposure. Unresolved accessibility gaps across digital properties put the district at risk of formal complaints, litigation, and inequitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
An active complaint process creates immediate remediation urgency, making near-term action essential to limit legal and reputational risk. Addressing accessibility gaps now supports equitable public access, aligns with federal obligations, and positions the district ahead of escalating enforcement timelines.

Discuss this project →Modernizing Student Transportation Safety with Fleet Telematics
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
This district operates school bus services without telematics or dash camera systems in place, leaving a significant gap in student transportation safety oversight. The absence of real-time fleet visibility increases operational risk and limits the district's ability to respond to incidents or demonstrate duty-of-care compliance.
The opportunity
MiDEAL cooperative purchasing offers a streamlined procurement path that can reduce time-to-deployment once budget is identified, avoiding lengthy bid cycles. Addressing this gap now strengthens student safety outcomes and positions the district ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Consolidation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on multiple SaaS platforms for instruction, payments, and communications, creating fragmented credential management and elevated password security risk. Without a unified identity approach, staff and student account exposure increases across every connected system.
The opportunity
Consolidating credential management now reduces operational risk across existing platforms and aligns with responsible stewardship of a constrained IT budget. A right-sized solution may be procurable through state cooperative agreements, minimizing procurement burden and local match requirements.
