Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has documented mass notification failures, with no recorded drills or audits on file. Recent flooding and severe weather closures — combined with public acknowledgment of communication gaps — create urgent compliance exposure under NIMS implementation and Michigan EOP review guidance, risking preparedness grant eligibility.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) directly supports mass notification and emergency communications initiatives, offering a viable funding path with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community-wide emergency response, and positions the district to maintain grant eligibility before the next review window.
Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently has no documented telematics or dashcam deployment across its fleet, leaving student transportation without real-time visibility or incident documentation. This unaddressed gap creates significant liability exposure and safety risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Active fleet and transportation procurement signals the district is ready to act, and cooperative purchasing vehicles offer a streamlined, compliant path to acquisition. Addressing this gap now reduces liability risk, supports student safety outcomes, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity & IT Modernization · K-12 Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has Acceptable Use Policies in place but lacks documented technical cybersecurity controls, creating a measurable compliance gap. Without enforceable technical safeguards, student data, staff credentials, and district systems remain exposed to breach risk and audit findings.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is an active funding mechanism aligned to this project, and the Michigan FY2026 state budget increase may expand available K-12 resources. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close compliance gaps, reduce operational risk, and leverage cooperative procurement vehicles already in place.
Website & Digital Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has prioritized Website & Digital Services as a strategic initiative with an ADA compliance focus, but document-level accessibility gaps may remain unaddressed. Unresolved accessibility barriers expose the district to compliance risk and limit equitable access to public content for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
ADA accessibility is a continuous legal obligation, and proactive remediation reduces audit exposure and civil rights risk ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing document-level gaps now supports equitable service delivery and aligns with the district's existing digital services priorities.

Student Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has formally recognized and actively procured comprehensive campus security improvements, with a closed RFP signaling a budgeted, unresolved safety need. Documented mass notification failures, the absence of a public EOP, and overdue emergency preparedness compliance under Michigan guidance elevate risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Michigan's FY2026 state budget increase and active grant programs—including Homeland Security funding aligned to emergency communications—provide viable pathways to address remaining safety gaps. Cooperative procurement vehicles further streamline re-engagement, and acting within the current fiscal cycle protects both compliance standing and grant eligibility.
