Emergency Operations Plan and Notification System Development
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and a documented mass notification system, creating critical preparedness gaps for students and staff. MCL 380.1308b mandates EOP development, and the absence of HSEEP-style exercises compounds compliance and operational risk exposure.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant provides a direct funding path for notification systems and school security technology, reducing local budget burden. Acting within the current grant window addresses a clear compliance mandate and strengthens campus safety outcomes for students and staff.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a documented mass notification system, leaving students, staff, and the broader community without a reliable alert mechanism during emergencies. This gap, combined with the absence of an Emergency Operations Plan, represents a critical preparedness deficiency and a direct compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program explicitly funds expedited notification systems, creating a direct and time-sensitive funding pathway for this project. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses both the compliance mandate and the operational gap, reducing risk to students and staff while stewarding public funds responsibly.

Discuss this project →Modernizing Student Transportation Safety & Fleet Visibility
Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on Google Forms for bus registration with no dedicated fleet management platform, telematics, or dashcam deployments in place. This greenfield gap limits operational visibility into student transportation and introduces unmitigated safety risks with no formal fleet safety program to guide response.
The opportunity
District strategic initiatives around transportation services and a board-approved General Fund budget signal leadership readiness to address these gaps in the current planning cycle. Acting now establishes a baseline safety program, improves accountability, and positions the district to leverage eligible funding before the next fiscal year.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces statewide WCAG 2.1 AA web accessibility mandates, creating legal exposure and compliance risk for public-facing digital services. Active initiatives like mobile app deployment and online registration amplify the urgency of ensuring accessible, compliant platforms for all community members.
The opportunity
Statewide compliance guidance establishes a defined remediation timeline, making action within the current fiscal cycle critical to avoiding legal and regulatory risk. Existing digital service investments create a natural scope for prioritizing accessibility improvements, maximizing the impact of available public funds.
