Unified Emergency Mass Notification System Deployment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented emergency notification ecosystem—its own app runs separately from municipal systems used by local police and the village—creating critical integration gaps. Active NIMS implementation and EOP review mandates are in place, yet key preparedness metrics remain undocumented, elevating compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
BRIC and FEMA preparedness grant windows offer viable, near-term funding paths with limited local match requirements, and an August 2026 millage proposal could add meaningful general fund capacity. Consolidating notification systems now addresses compliance mandates, closes documented safety gaps, and positions the district ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Security Modernization
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Security
High Priority
About this project
A documented school bus theft has exposed critical gaps in district fleet oversight, driver accountability, and real-time vehicle monitoring. Without telematics and video monitoring capabilities, the district faces ongoing safety risk to students, staff, and public assets.
The opportunity
This incident creates a clear, time-sensitive case for action ahead of the August 2026 Operating Millage vote, which could expand available funding. Fleet security solutions may be eligible for COPS TEP or JAG grant programs, and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate compliant procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing website has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limiting equitable access for community members with disabilities. Unresolved gaps elevate risk of complaints, audits, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in place, enabling a streamlined procurement path without a lengthy bid process. Staging remediation by risk severity supports responsible use of public funds and positions the district ahead of enforcement actions during the current planning cycle.

Cybersecurity Governance · Data Protection
High Priority
About this project
The district's cybersecurity policy is only partially developed, leaving gaps in security governance, credential management, and endpoint oversight. These gaps expose sensitive student and staff data to compliance and operational risk, particularly as regulatory expectations for K–12 data protection continue to rise.
The opportunity
Maturing the district's cybersecurity posture now aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and available grant pathways supporting K–12 security initiatives. Closing policy and endpoint gaps reduces audit exposure, strengthens data stewardship, and supports a stable leadership environment ready for measured, strategic action.
