Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has no published Emergency Operations Plan, lacks mass notification transparency, and has no documented exercises or audits. Michigan's EOP review cycle under Pub 201/201a creates explicit compliance mandates, elevating operational and regulatory risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Grant windows for HSGP and BRIC funding in mid-2026, combined with recent leadership prioritization of safety and notification investment, create a near-term opportunity to close compliance gaps. Acting now positions the district to leverage available funding and reduce risk before the next review cycle.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates fragmented alerting systems and lacks unified mass notification capabilities, creating transparency and response gaps. Michigan EOP review mandates (Pub 201/201a) and documented emergency preparedness deficiencies elevate compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Leadership has already signaled a near-term procurement decision, and grant windows such as HSGP and BRIC are open through mid-2026 with potential funding for preparedness initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with compliance requirements and strengthens district-wide emergency response outcomes.
Secure Credential Management for District Systems
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies on ad-hoc password storage practices, including unsecured credentials at public-facing library locations, creating a critical cybersecurity vulnerability. A formal credential management policy exists, but operational compliance is unverified and no structured solution is in place, leaving staff, systems, and student data exposed.
The opportunity
Grant funding windows in mid-2026, including HSGP and BRIC, may support eligible cybersecurity investments, and cooperative purchasing channels are already accessible to streamline procurement. Addressing this gap now reduces breach risk, supports policy compliance, and aligns with the district's current budget and planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents and community members. No hard remediation deadline has been confirmed, but unresolved gaps carry ongoing civil rights and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Upcoming contract expirations for district educational software create a natural procurement window to bundle digital modernization efforts and address accessibility gaps efficiently. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and may align with available state or federal funding pathways.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an active Transportation Department but lacks modern telematics and dash camera systems, limiting driver coaching, incident documentation, and liability defense. This gap increases operational and financial risk across daily student transportation.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing channels provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path aligned with the district's existing practices and upcoming fiscal planning. Addressing this gap now strengthens student safety outcomes and supports defensible claims management with public funds.
