Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan and a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating critical preparedness and safety gaps. Michigan law mandates a biennial EOP review, and NIMS compliance is required to remain eligible for federal preparedness assistance.
The opportunity
An incoming Superintendent in July 2025 creates a timely window for new safety initiatives, and the COPS School Violence Prevention Program offers a direct funding path for allowable technology costs. Acting now addresses urgent compliance mandates and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness before the next review cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented mass notification ecosystem with no dedicated school-level system, creating a critical gap in emergency communication. This directly undermines incident response readiness and conflicts with Michigan's biennial EOP review mandate and NIMS compliance requirements.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program explicitly funds expedited notification technology, offering a direct grant path with limited local match burden. A new Superintendent beginning July 2025 and active school safety compliance mandates create strong timing alignment for a near-term decision that advances both preparedness and public accountability.

Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing web systems must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, a county-level obligation with direct implications for equitable access. The planned shift to online enrollment via Skyward in July 2026 intensifies the urgency, as inaccessible systems risk excluding families and creating compliance exposure.
The opportunity
The July 2026 online enrollment deadline creates a firm, near-term compliance milestone that aligns with current General Fund stability and no projected budget reductions. Acting within this fiscal window allows the district to meet accessibility mandates, reduce legal risk, and ensure equitable digital access for all enrolled families.

High Priority
About this project
The district is transitioning to online enrollment through Skyward with a hard go-live date of July 6, 2026, requiring immediate readiness across IT support, web functionality, and document workflows. The district's mixed Chromebook and Microsoft 365 environment adds complexity around identity and credential management that must be resolved ahead of launch.
The opportunity
The fixed July 2026 deadline creates a defined and urgent procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may accelerate procurement, and addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk while supporting equitable, accessible enrollment for all families.
