Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly documented EOP review date, HSEEP-style exercises, and a unified emergency management framework aligned with its Hazard Mitigation Plan. Biennial EOP review is mandated under MCL 380.1308b and MSP Publication 201a, and current mass-notification gaps elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and COPS SVPP grants directly fund communications, warning systems, and mass-notification initiatives, offering strong near-term funding paths with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window addresses overdue compliance mandates and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness for students and staff.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current notification platform has documented capability gaps that limit the reach and reliability of emergency communications for staff and students. Combined with an overdue biennial EOP review requirement under MCL 380.1308b, these deficiencies elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The COPS SVPP grant explicitly identifies emergency mass-notification systems as a fundable item, creating a near-term, defined funding path. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens district-wide emergency response outcomes.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively remediating its public-facing website to meet federal OCR standards and WCAG/ADA obligations, representing a stated district-wide strategic priority. Failure to achieve compliance exposes the district to continued federal scrutiny and limits equitable digital access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Active OCR remediation and a demonstrated history of grant investment signal near-term budget commitment to this effort. Addressing accessibility now aligns with the current remediation timeline, supports equitable service delivery, and may qualify for state or federal funding assistance.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus accident involving a vehicle rollover has exposed critical gaps in driver monitoring, in-vehicle video, and telematics—creating immediate safety and liability risk. With no documented fleet safety technology in place, the district lacks tools for incident documentation, driver coaching, and operational accountability.
The opportunity
The district's active deployment of new electric buses and a voter-approved bond with bidding anticipated in late 2026/early 2027 create a well-timed entry point for fleet safety investment. Addressing these gaps now supports student safety outcomes, strengthens liability defense, and aligns with available capital funding pathways.
