Emergency Operations Plan Modernization for School Safety Compliance
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately six years old, with no documented HSEEP-style exercises and a statutory mandate for biennial review under MCL 380.1308b. These gaps create measurable compliance and safety exposure, placing students, staff, and the district at operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines under MCL 380.1308b create a non-discretionary, near-term driver, while FEMA grants including HSGP and BRIC offer viable funding pathways. The district's active 2026–2027 budget cycle positions this as an actionable investment aligned with current fiscal planning.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented multi-modal mass notification system and operates with an outdated Emergency Operations Plan, creating critical gaps in alerting staff, students, and the community during emergencies. Michigan's biennial EOP review mandate (MCL 380.1308b) and fragmented existing notification infrastructure elevate both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs (HSGP and BRIC) align directly with this project, and the district's confirmed cooperative purchasing membership streamlines procurement. The active 2026–2027 budget cycle and an ongoing secure-entrance initiative create a timely integration window to close preparedness gaps and meet compliance requirements.

Student Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has an approved, active procurement underway for secure-entrance installation, creating a near-term window to integrate complementary safety and notification capabilities. Emergency preparedness gaps—including an outdated Emergency Operations Plan and no documented mass-notification system—elevate compliance and operational risk under state mandates.
The opportunity
With budget already approved and procurement in motion, expanding scope now avoids a separate budget cycle and maximizes existing capital investment. FEMA grant alignment and cooperative purchasing eligibility further reduce barriers, supporting both compliance with EOP review mandates and stronger district-wide safety outcomes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in website accessibility across public-facing digital properties, with a stated intent to align with WCAG and ADA standards. Unresolved non-compliance creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to district information for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
With a recently approved 2026–2027 budget and an active spending cycle, the district is positioned to stage remediation by risk severity within the current fiscal window. Addressing compliance now reduces legal and reputational risk while improving equitable service delivery for all community members.
Modernizing District Fleet Management and Transportation Safety
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has an established transportation program with bus drivers and onboard video cameras, but lacks comprehensive fleet management capabilities to support operational oversight and safety compliance. Without expanded tools, the district faces gaps in route efficiency, vehicle monitoring, and driver accountability that can elevate risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The district's recently adopted 2026–2027 budget and active capital planning cycle create a near-term window to advance fleet management priorities. Cooperative purchasing membership can significantly streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden for a small district with limited staff resources.
