EOP Consolidation and Mass Notification Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Crawford AuSable School District approved an EOP in March 2026 but faces gaps in mass notification capability, two fragmented platforms, and missing public EOP metadata. MCL 380.1308b and Michigan MSP biennial review mandates with law enforcement create explicit regulatory pressure to resolve these gaps promptly.
The opportunity
The August 10, 2026 School Board meeting offers a near-term approval window, and the Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly allows emergency communications investments. The May 2026 millage restoration further strengthens budget flexibility, making this an optimal moment to act.

Cybersecurity · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates Google Workspace without a documented password management solution, and recent Chromebook deployments lack a formal endpoint management platform. These gaps expose staff and student devices to preventable security vulnerabilities, increasing risk across the district's digital environment.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly allows cybersecurity and IT enhancement equipment as eligible purchases, offering a direct funding path with limited local match required. A recently approved millage restoration improves budget flexibility, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's emergency communications rely on fragmented platforms, undermining the reliability and consistency required under MCL 380.1308b and Michigan State Police guidance for biennial EOP compliance. This gap poses direct operational and safety risk to students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
A recently approved EOP and restored millage funding create a timely window to consolidate notification infrastructure, with the Homeland Security Grant Program offering an eligible funding path for emergency communications investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a rural transportation program in a winter-weather environment without documented dashcam or telematics coverage, creating a proactive safety gap. Recent school bus acquisitions have not been paired with fleet safety technology, leaving students and drivers without real-time visibility or incident documentation.
The opportunity
Recent bus purchases and a newly restored millage create a timely, budget-supported entry point for fleet safety investment. Cooperative purchasing pathways are likely available to simplify procurement, and acting now establishes a safety baseline before the next winter operating season.

ADA Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified unmet obligations under ADA/Section 504, requiring WCAG 2.1-conformant web content to ensure equitable public access. Unaddressed gaps create legal exposure and exclude community members with disabilities from essential district communications.
The opportunity
The recent millage restoration provides improved budget flexibility to fund remediation within the current fiscal cycle, reducing legal and reputational risk. Acting now aligns with active compliance requirements and supports equitable access for all students, families, and community members.
