Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a verified school-level mass notification system, and a recent ice storm exposed critical communications vulnerabilities. A split ecosystem between a mobile app and county-level alerting, combined with Michigan EOP and NIMS compliance requirements, creates both operational risk and a clear consolidation need.
The opportunity
A significant county investment in public safety communications infrastructure signals strong near-term momentum, and the Homeland Security Grant Program offers aligned funding with limited local match. Consolidating notification systems now addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens community-wide emergency response.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates vehicles without publicly documented safety technology such as dashcams or telematics, creating gaps in driver accountability, liability mitigation, and student safety oversight. An active vehicle procurement confirms a current fleet management need with no existing platform in place.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle signals near-term budget availability, making this an ideal window to address fleet safety gaps. Implementing telematics supports liability reduction, operational visibility, and may align with state or federal transportation safety funding in the current fiscal cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented remediation history for WCAG/ADA website and app accessibility requirements, creating ongoing legal exposure and equity barriers for students, families, and staff. Without a structured compliance path, the risk of formal complaints or enforcement action continues to grow.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility gaps now aligns with the current grant cycle and cooperative purchasing options that can reduce procurement complexity and local cost burden. Acting within the upcoming fiscal window supports compliance, reduces liability, and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

Cybersecurity · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented cybersecurity and password policies, creating foundational security gaps across student information and device management systems. With limited internal IT capacity, identity and endpoint vulnerabilities pose meaningful risk to student data integrity and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program offers direct funding alignment for cybersecurity initiatives, and the current fiscal environment supports action ahead of the next budget cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the district's ability to safeguard student data with limited local resources.
