Emergency Operations Plan Development for K-12 District
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
This K-12 district of 527 students lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no designated emergency management coordinator, and relies on unreliable notification systems—including a superintendent's personal cell phone. These gaps present significant operational and compliance risk to students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
A board-approved Sinking Fund millage for safety and security improvements, a budgeted Comprehensive School Safety Plan initiative, and multiple FEMA grant deadlines in July 2026 create a clear, near-term funding window. Acting now positions the incoming district leadership to close critical preparedness gaps and demonstrate early commitment to student and staff safety.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's notification infrastructure is unreliable, with documented phone system outages and dependence on a single personal device for emergency communications. This gap leaves staff and community without dependable alerts during incidents, elevating operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
FEMA grant deadlines in July 2026—including BRIC, a top-identified opportunity—provide a near-term funding path with limited local match required. A budget-approved school safety plan and Sinking Fund millage for safety improvements signal district readiness to act, and an incoming superintendent creates a timely opening to advance early operational wins.
Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district is operating under an active OCR Resolution Agreement mandating WCAG compliance across all public-facing digital properties and documents within 60 days. This is a legal compliance obligation carrying federal enforcement risk, not a discretionary initiative.
The opportunity
The 60-day OCR deadline makes this an immediate procurement priority, with failure to act risking escalated federal enforcement. Addressing remediation now protects the district's federal funding standing and fulfills its legal obligation to equitable public access.

Student Safety · Fleet & Transportation
High Priority
About this project
A documented onboard misconduct incident on a contractor-operated bus has exposed a critical gap in student transportation oversight. The district currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, leaving it without evidence collection capability or behavioral monitoring to protect students in transit.
The opportunity
The district's voter-approved Sinking Fund millage, designated for safety and security improvements, provides a clear and accessible funding pathway for transportation safety technology. Acting within the current budget cycle addresses documented risk, supports the board-approved Comprehensive School Safety Plan, and may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →IT Modernization and Endpoint Security Consolidation
IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The district operates with fragmented IT support, creating gaps in endpoint visibility, patch management, and credential security that expose staff and student data to operational and cybersecurity risk. Leadership has identified IT modernization as a strategic priority, signaling awareness of these deficiencies and readiness to act.
The opportunity
A new Superintendent beginning in July 2025 creates a timely opening to re-evaluate existing systems and consolidate IT management under a more structured, secure framework. Addressing these gaps now aligns with the district's modernization initiative and supports responsible stewardship of public technology resources heading into the next fiscal cycle.
