Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted EOP, confirmed mass-notification redundancy, and documented HSEEP-style exercise reviews, creating significant compliance exposure under MCL 380.1308b. These gaps leave students, staff, and the broader community operationally vulnerable during emergency events.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 offer near-term funding pathways for emergency preparedness investment with limited local match required. Acting now addresses critical compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and positions the district ahead of the upcoming fiscal and grant cycle.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing digital properties face active compliance mandates under Section 504, Title II of the ADA, and WCAG 2.1 standards. Unresolved accessibility gaps in existing digital infrastructure create measurable legal exposure and reputational risk for the district and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
Federal enforcement of digital accessibility requirements is intensifying, making this a time-sensitive compliance priority. The district has already identified Website & Digital Services/Accessibility as a strategic initiative, signaling internal alignment. Addressing WCAG 2.1 gaps now supports equitable access for all students and families while reducing legal liability ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a confirmed telematics or driver monitoring solution despite a recent school bus accident, parental complaints about driver conduct, and overcrowded routes. An active fleet safety mandate adds a compliance dimension, elevating liability risk for students, families, and the district.
The opportunity
Bond-funded transportation improvements signal active procurement readiness, and the JAG grant program offers a potential funding pathway with upcoming deadlines. Addressing fleet safety now reduces operational liability, supports mandate compliance, and aligns with the district's current transportation investment cycle.

Financial Systems Modernization · HR & Payroll Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The district's ERP contract has expired, creating an immediate gap in financial management, HR, and payroll operations with no confirmed replacement in place. This active procurement need carries significant operational and compliance risk for staff, administrators, and public fund stewardship.
The opportunity
Contract expiration opens a procurement window now, and cooperative purchasing programs already in use can accelerate a compliant, cost-effective solution. A potential millage revenue increase in the upcoming fiscal cycle may further unlock funding for this critical infrastructure investment.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Identity Governance
High Priority
About this project
The district's IT environment spans multiple disconnected tools for endpoint protection, content filtering, and device management, creating gaps in unified oversight and credential governance. This fragmentation increases operational risk, strains IT staff efficiency, and leaves identity and access controls inconsistently enforced across the district.
The opportunity
The district's formally identified IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative, combined with the JAG program as a potential funding pathway, positions this project for near-term action. The August 2026 millage vote represents a budget catalyst, making current planning essential to align scope and funding before the fiscal window opens.
