School Safety Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Upgrade
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including a failed lockdown drill and mass-notification system limitations, with an external safety assessment currently driving prioritization. Michigan House Bill 4713 mandates compliance with school drill and posting requirements, creating active regulatory exposure for the district.
The opportunity
The May 2026 bond proposal and FY 2026 federal grant programs offer multiple funding pathways to address safety infrastructure and compliance gaps. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with June budget hearings and positions the district to reduce regulatory risk while improving outcomes for students and staff.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass-notification system has documented capacity constraints that limit reliable reach to staff and students during critical incidents. Failed lockdown drills and Michigan House Bill 4713 compliance requirements elevate both operational and legal risk for the district.
The opportunity
FY 2026 COPS TEP and SVPP grant windows, combined with June budget hearings and a pending bond proposal, create a defined funding and procurement timeline. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens safety outcomes for students and staff.
FY 2026 COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a bus-driver shortage, absent telematics coverage, and a documented citizen complaint about unsafe bus operation, creating measurable safety and accountability gaps. Without real-time visibility into vehicle and driver performance, the district carries elevated operational risk and limited ability to respond to incidents or optimize routes.
The opportunity
FY 2026 COPS grant programs and cooperative purchasing agreements offer accessible, cost-effective procurement pathways aligned with the district's current budget cycle and fleet electrification initiative. Acting now positions the district to close safety gaps, strengthen public trust, and leverage available funding before the fiscal year window closes.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has committed to WCAG 2.1 standards but faces ongoing accessibility gaps across public-facing digital properties. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and reputational risk while limiting equitable access for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
Annual budget hearings in June and an active bond proposal window create near-term procurement opportunities aligned with current fiscal planning. Addressing WCAG compliance now reduces legal risk and supports equitable digital access for all community stakeholders.
IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks an identified endpoint management solution, creating measurable gaps in IT oversight and cybersecurity posture. A $23.7M bond proposal includes a multi-year technology replacement program, signaling planned infrastructure investment with direct implications for district-wide security and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The May 2026 bond vote and June budget hearings define a clear capital funding and procurement window for technology modernization. With no incumbent endpoint solution in place, the district can move efficiently to close security gaps and align investments with the upcoming fiscal cycle.
