EOP Development and NIMS Compliance for K-12 Safety
Emergency Management · K-12 Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Detroit 90/90 lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan, a mass notification platform, and a designated emergency management coordinator, creating significant compliance and safety gaps. Michigan's K-12 EOP requirements and NIMS mandates are explicit obligations, and structural deficiencies elevate risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
A newly appointed CEO, Michigan's expanded FY 2026-27 K-12 education budget, and available federal grant pathways create strong timing for near-term action. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens school safety outcomes, and positions the district to leverage eligible emergency management funding.
Mass Notification System for K-12 Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently has no mass notification platform, leaving students and staff without a reliable alerting mechanism during emergencies. This critical gap, combined with the absence of a public Emergency Operations Plan, creates direct compliance exposure under Michigan K-12 EOP and NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
New district leadership and Michigan's expanded K-12 education funding for FY 2026–27 create favorable conditions for prioritizing this investment. Federal preparedness grant programs are available to eligible K-12 entities, and cooperative procurement vehicles can accelerate compliant purchasing within the current budget cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The organization's primary domain is currently parked, creating an immediate public-facing service gap and legal exposure under WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. Without a compliant digital portal, students, families, and staff face barriers to essential information and services.
The opportunity
A new leadership transition and Michigan's expanded K-12 funding environment create favorable conditions for prioritizing this investment in the current fiscal cycle. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, restores public access, and positions the organization for sustainable digital service delivery.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Existing platforms across student information, learning management, and communications present integration gaps in password and endpoint management, creating credential and data security vulnerabilities. Without cohesive identity and device controls, the organization faces elevated risk of unauthorized access and operational disruption.
The opportunity
Identified grant funding paths and cooperative procurement options available to Michigan K-12 entities can reduce acquisition costs and accelerate deployment within the current fiscal cycle. A new leadership transition and moderate existing IT spend signal readiness to invest in solutions that strengthen security posture and protect student and staff data.
