Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Notification Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating direct non-compliance with Michigan Pub 201 / R 30.52(1), which mandates EOP review and CEO signature. The recent discontinuation of the prior mass notification system has introduced an immediate operational gap, leaving staff and students without a reliable emergency communications process.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant provides a direct funding path for school safety and emergency communications technology, reducing reliance on constrained operating budgets. Acting within the current grant window addresses both the compliance mandate and the notification gap while cooperative procurement vehicles such as MiDEAL can accelerate the purchasing timeline.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's prior mass notification system has been discontinued, leaving staff reliant on manual, slow processes to reach students, parents, and staff during emergencies. This gap compounds existing emergency preparedness deficiencies and elevates compliance risk under Michigan's EOP review and approval mandates.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant explicitly funds school safety technology including emergency communications, offering a direct funding path with limited local match burden. Acting within the current grant window addresses an immediate operational gap, supports EOP compliance, and strengthens district-wide emergency response outcomes.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks telematics and dash camera systems on school buses, limiting incident reconstruction and driver coaching capabilities. This gap presents a concrete safety risk to students and exposes the district to operational and liability challenges without data to support corrective action.
The opportunity
A capital bond initiative targeting campus and facility needs — with a June planning deadline ahead of a potential November 2026 ballot — creates a near-term window to integrate fleet safety technology into the funding proposal. Aligning telematics with this capital cycle may unlock a viable, voter-supported funding path with no additional discretionary budget required.
