Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and relies on fragmented manual communication methods. Michigan's EOP review cycle creates active regulatory pressure, and critical preparedness gaps elevate risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Multiple grant deadlines in July and August 2026—including programs explicitly funding school safety and emergency preparedness—align with the district's active budget cycle and an incoming Superintendent. Addressing these gaps now positions the district to secure available funding while meeting compliance requirements ahead of the next review cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a unified mass notification system, relying on fragmented manual channels—TV, radio, and social media—that create critical gaps in speed and reliability during emergencies. Combined with an overdue EOP review cycle and no identified Emergency Management Coordinator, the district faces elevated compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs explicitly funding school safety technology—including SVPP and HSGP—have upcoming deadlines, making this an ideal moment to consolidate communications infrastructure. An incoming leadership transition and active budget cycle further support initiating this project now to reduce risk and strengthen community-wide emergency response.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school has identified ADA/Title II compliance obligations requiring WCAG standards across public-facing digital portals. Gaps in accessible design expose the institution to legal and regulatory risk while limiting equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
ADA compliance is a non-deferrable mandate, and the active budget cycle—alongside an approved board-platform initiative—creates a timely, adjacent opportunity to advance accessibility improvements. Action now aligns with current digital modernization momentum and supports equitable public service delivery.
Cybersecurity and IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified compliance gaps in acceptable technology use and password management while operating within a Microsoft 365 environment. An active infrastructure refresh—including E-Rate-funded network switches—and an open Director of Technology position signal a critical transition period requiring structured cybersecurity oversight.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as TEP and JAG may offset implementation costs, and the current stable budget environment supports prioritized IT investment ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational and compliance risk during a period of active infrastructure and leadership transition.
Contractor Transportation Safety & Telematics Compliance
Student Transportation · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Student transportation is fully contractor-operated, with identified gaps in in-vehicle video coverage and telematics oversight. Without mandated contractor standards, the district has limited visibility into route safety, driver behavior, and incident accountability.
The opportunity
Establishing contractor telematics compliance requirements aligns with the district's active safety investment posture and may be eligible for safety-related grant funding in the current cycle. Acting within the upcoming fiscal window strengthens student safety oversight and reduces district liability exposure.
