All-Hazards Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
This K-12 district of 1,360 students has no publicly posted all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan and no dedicated mass-notification system, creating significant regulatory and safety exposure. Michigan statute requires biennial EOP review for K-12 districts, and current emergency management spending of $1,000 annually reflects a critical underinvestment relative to that mandate.
The opportunity
A current Homeland Security Grant Program window and an upcoming $21.85M bond vote in August 2026 provide both grant-based and capital funding paths to close this gap. Acting within the next 90 days positions the district to meet compliance deadlines, protect students and staff, and align with the fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently has no mass-notification system, creating a critical gap in its ability to reach staff, students, and families during emergencies. This absence, combined with an overdue K-12 all-hazards EOP biennial review required under Michigan statute, elevates both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
An August 2026 bond measure and alignment with HSGP and COPS TEP grant programs offer viable funding pathways for this investment. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the district to close a documented preparedness gap, meet statutory compliance, and strengthen community-wide emergency response.
Chromebook Endpoint Security & Device Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 Chromebook program lacks dedicated endpoint management and cybersecurity controls, leaving student devices and Google account credentials without structured oversight. This gap exposes the district to data security risks and potential compliance vulnerabilities across approximately 1,360 enrolled students.
The opportunity
The August 2026 bond measure and the COPS Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) offer aligned funding pathways to address this greenfield need within current planning cycles. Acting now—before the bond vote—positions the district to include endpoint security as a defined, fundable line item with no incumbent solution to displace.

Student Safety · Fleet & Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district outsources transportation entirely and has no telematics policy or real-time vehicle visibility, creating an accountability gap in student safety oversight. Without direct monitoring capability, the district has limited ability to verify contractor performance or respond to incidents.
The opportunity
An upcoming bond measure and aligned federal funding sources offer a potential pathway to address this structural gap before it becomes a liability. Establishing a telematics baseline now supports long-term safety accountability and positions the district for future compliance requirements.
