Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan and is overdue on a Michigan state compliance mandate with a 2025 deadline. Gaps in documented exercises and a recent safety incident compound preparedness risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
The 2025 compliance deadline and an active school improvement bond for safety create an immediate, funded path to address these gaps. A federal grant opportunity with a 2026 deadline further supports near-term investment, aligning with current procurement activity and fiscal-year planning cycles.

School Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a verified, district-branded mass notification system, and the status of its legacy platform is unknown, creating critical gaps in emergency communication with students, staff, and families. With an overdue Michigan EOP compliance deadline in 2025 and documented preparedness gaps, the operational and regulatory risk is significant.
The opportunity
Active bond funding, a recent security-focused RFP, and an aligned federal grant opportunity with a 2026 deadline create a rare convergence of budget availability and procurement readiness. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close compliance gaps, strengthen emergency response, and maximize available funding with limited local match required.

Physical Security · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active RFP for security upgrades with a bid date of September 23, 2025, alongside documented emergency preparedness gaps and an overdue state EOP compliance mandate. Bond-designated funding for facilities, safety, and technology signals a formal, funded commitment with real procurement urgency.
The opportunity
Active bond funding and an open procurement window create a near-term opportunity to advance safety infrastructure and close compliance gaps before fiscal deadlines. A federally aligned grant opportunity with a 2026 deadline further supports a phased, cost-effective approach to school safety improvements.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's Google Workspace environment lacks a deployed password management solution, leaving staff and administrative credentials vulnerable to unauthorized access. This gap increases exposure to data breaches and undermines the security of district-wide systems and sensitive information.
The opportunity
With active security procurement underway and an annual IT and software budget near $700K, the district has near-term capacity to close this credential security gap. Addressing it now aligns with ongoing technology initiatives and reduces operational and compliance risk ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
