Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Clare Public Schools lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and is subject to mandatory biennial EOP reviews under MCL 380.1308b. Fragmented notifications, no documented preparedness exercises, and recent local flooding in April 2026 expose students, staff, and the district to significant operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant — with an August 2026 deadline and up to $500,000 available — explicitly funds notification systems and school security technology, offering a direct funding path. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a centralized mass notification system, relying on fragmented channels such as social media and county alerts that cannot reliably reach all stakeholders during emergencies. This gap, compounded by recent local flooding events and an active Continuity of Services Plan, elevates both operational and compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b EOP mandates.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant—with an August 2026 deadline and awards up to $500,000—explicitly funds expedited notification systems, creating a direct, near-term funding path. Acting within the current grant window addresses compliance requirements, closes a documented safety gap, and strengthens emergency readiness for students, staff, and the broader community.

Pupil Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on a third-party transportation contractor without documented on-board video or telematics capabilities, creating measurable gaps in student safety oversight and accountability. A Pupil Transportation Services RFP published in March 2026 signals active, imminent procurement and elevates this as a top strategic priority.
The opportunity
An active RFP cycle and contracts expiring around 2027 create a defined decision window for modernizing fleet safety infrastructure. Cooperative purchasing pathways may reduce procurement complexity and timeline, supporting responsible stewardship of public funds while improving student transportation safety outcomes.
