Emergency Preparedness & Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an EOP of unknown age, limited structured exercise programs, and a mass notification system with an uncertain contract or end-of-life status. NIMS compliance and Michigan-mandated drill requirements are overdue drivers, creating immediate regulatory and operational risk exposure for students and staff.
The opportunity
FEMA preparedness grants offer a direct funding path, and Michigan's cooperative purchasing vehicle streamlines procurement ahead of upcoming 2026–2027 budget hearings. Acting now closes compliance gaps, reduces liability, and positions the district to secure available funding before the fiscal window closes.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates student transportation routes with documented vehicle collisions during dismissal and no public record of dash cameras or telematics in use. This gap exposes the institution to compounding safety, liability, and litigation risk affecting students, staff, and public trust.
The opportunity
An approved FY2025-26 Transportation budget line item of $188,960 provides a direct, near-term funding path. Acting within this fiscal cycle reduces safety exposure, strengthens driver accountability, and positions the district ahead of upcoming budget hearings for 2026-2027.
FY2026 COPS TEP

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks formal password management and endpoint governance systems, creating measurable security gaps despite existing Internet Safety and Acceptable Use policies. Without structured credential and device controls, student and staff data remain exposed to unauthorized access and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A FY2025-26 Capital Outlay allocation of $150,000 and a $220,563 Wayne County/RESA award offer flexible, near-term funding, with the Homeland Security Grant Program providing an additional eligible path. Addressing these gaps now aligns with budget timing, reduces audit exposure, and strengthens district-wide data security before the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's self-hosted website and publicly available digital documents do not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating ongoing legal exposure and equity gaps for students, families, and staff with disabilities. Without a remediation plan, the district remains vulnerable to complaints, audits, and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a timely window to direct new compliance-driven allocations toward accessibility remediation, and eligible initiatives may align with state or federal funding pathways. Proactive investment now reduces legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a formal password management system, leaving staff credentials and district-managed IT infrastructure without consistent governance controls. This explicitly identified gap creates measurable cybersecurity compliance risk tied to acceptable use and internet safety policy obligations.
The opportunity
A recent $220,563 Wayne County/RESA allocation provides flexible funding that may be directed toward this gap, and cooperative purchasing through MiDEAL streamlines procurement ahead of the 2026–2027 budget cycle. Addressing credential governance now reduces audit exposure and strengthens the district's overall cybersecurity posture.
