Emergency Operations Plan Modernization for Student Safety
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school's Emergency Operations Plan is six years old, with no documented modern mass-notification system and no evidence of formal emergency exercises. Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates regular EOP review, creating direct compliance exposure and significant safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant offers a well-aligned funding pathway for panic and mass-notification systems, reducing local budget burden. Recent leadership transitions and an active compliance mandate create a timely decision window to close preparedness gaps and protect the school community.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school has no dedicated mass-notification system and an outdated emergency operations plan, leaving students, staff, and families without reliable alerts during critical incidents. Michigan's MCL 380.1308b mandates regular EOP review, and the absence of a modern notification capability creates measurable compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant directly funds notification and emergency alert systems, offering a near-term, funded pathway with limited local match required. Leadership transitions and an open procurement landscape create a timely decision window aligned with compliance mandates and the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The school's internal WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance deadline has passed, creating legal exposure and accessibility gaps across public-facing digital properties. A fragmented digital environment—spanning web platforms and cloud document storage—complicates remediation and increases risk for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
A recent leadership transition creates a timely decision window to prioritize remediation before legal or reputational risk escalates. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan schools offer an accessible procurement path aligned with current fiscal planning cycles.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The school relies on Google Workspace without a dedicated credential management solution, leaving staff and student accounts exposed to unauthorized access risks. This gap is part of a broader IT/cybersecurity modernization need, with no formal controls documented to protect sensitive data.
The opportunity
Addressing credential security aligns with the school's long-term technology maintenance strategy and can be pursued through cooperative procurement vehicles available to Michigan public entities. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports IT modernization goals while reducing exposure before the next audit or incident.
