Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and verified mass-notification capabilities, creating significant liability. Compliance mandates under Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS implementation put grant eligibility and student safety at risk if deficiencies go unaddressed.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grants explicitly include school districts as eligible sub-applicants, offering a direct funding path for preparedness initiatives. Acting within the current grant cycle and fiscal planning window reduces compliance exposure and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's mass-notification capabilities are fragmented and undocumented, creating critical communication gaps during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a formal Emergency Operations Plan and unmet Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS compliance mandates, the district faces elevated liability and preparedness risk.
The opportunity
Federal preparedness grants, including hazard mitigation and school safety programs, provide eligible funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes documented preparedness gaps, and strengthens district-wide emergency response for students and staff.
Proactive Fleet Safety Monitoring for District Vehicles
Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented telematics and dashcam coverage across its fleet, creating unquantified liability exposure for students, staff, and the public. Without a formal safety monitoring program, the district has limited visibility into incident prevention or post-incident accountability.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements available to the district provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path that avoids lengthy bid cycles. Addressing this gap proactively reduces liability risk and supports responsible stewardship of public assets ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing digital properties have identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating legal exposure and barriers for community members with disabilities. Without remediation, the district risks civil rights complaints and inequitable access to essential public information.
The opportunity
Proactive remediation reduces legal liability and aligns with broader IT modernization efforts already under consideration, making it a cost-efficient addition to the upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable public engagement and positions the district ahead of potential enforcement actions.
