Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan records, review dates, and a unified mass notification system, operating instead across a fragmented district-app and county-system split. Michigan EOP/NIMS compliance mandates create direct regulatory exposure, including risk of losing preparedness fund eligibility.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant provides a named, accessible funding path for mass notification and school safety technologies, aligning with the district's stated top strategic priority. Acting within the current grant window reduces compliance risk, closes critical preparedness gaps, and supports continuity of care for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Modernization Through Telematics
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district has experienced multiple fleet-involved accidents in the past 24 months, including bus crashes with injuries, with no dashcam or telematics infrastructure in place. This gap in safety technology creates significant liability exposure and leaves students, staff, and the public without critical protections.
The opportunity
Documented accident history and the absence of telematics create immediate safety and liability urgency. Cooperative purchasing programs available to Michigan districts can streamline procurement, and this initiative aligns with upcoming fiscal planning cycles to advance student transportation safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district carries a continuous legal obligation to meet WCAG 2.1/ADA standards across its public-facing digital properties, including its website, mobile apps, and student information platforms. Unresolved accessibility gaps expose the district to compliance risk and limit equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 compliance is an ongoing mandate rather than a one-time effort, creating a standing procurement window aligned with the district's active digital services initiatives. Cooperative purchasing programs available to Michigan districts can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Strengthen IT Endpoint Protection and Credential Security
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified critical gaps in endpoint protection and password policy management across its in-house IT environment and Chromebook fleet. These vulnerabilities elevate operational and compliance risk, threatening continuity of instruction and the security of student and staff data.
The opportunity
Active procurement momentum and cooperative purchasing options such as MiDEAL can accelerate solution deployment within the current fiscal cycle. Cybersecurity investments tied to school safety use cases may also qualify for SVPP grant funding, reducing the burden on the district's general fund.

Discuss this project →Accounting & Financial Software Contract Renewal
Financial Operations · Ed-Tech Procurement
High Priority
About this project
The district's web-based accounting software contract has expired, creating an immediate operational gap that requires either renewal or a competitive replacement evaluation. Delayed action risks disruption to financial reporting, budget management, and audit readiness across the district.
The opportunity
A defined procurement window is open now, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can significantly reduce cycle time and administrative burden. The district's strong fund balance supports continuity investment, and acting within the current fiscal cycle protects financial operations and stewardship of public funds.
