School Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a modern mass notification system, and HSEEP-compliant exercises — creating significant exposure under Michigan EOP review requirements and NIMS mandates. Without these foundational safeguards, students, staff, and the broader community face elevated safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2025–2026 budget is approved and regional emergency operations investments signal near-term spending alignment, with the School Violence Prevention Program identified as a directly applicable grant opportunity. Acting now closes critical compliance gaps, strengthens campus safety, and positions the district to leverage available funding before the window narrows.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented communications environment across two separate platforms, with no modern mass notification capability to reliably reach students, staff, and families during incidents. This gap creates measurable risk against Michigan EOP review requirements and NIMS compliance mandates.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2025–2026 budget creates a near-term procurement window, and the project aligns with state and federal grant programs supporting school emergency preparedness. Consolidating communications now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens incident response outcomes for students and staff.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified WCAG 2.1 gaps across its K-12 websites, creating legal exposure under ADA mandates and limiting digital access for students and families. Without remediation, the district faces ongoing compliance risk and inequitable access to public-facing information.
The opportunity
Website accessibility is an active, budgeted spending area aligned with the current fiscal cycle, reducing the barrier to action. Addressing WCAG 2.1 gaps now strengthens ADA compliance, improves equitable digital access, and supports responsible stewardship of public funds.
Fleet Transportation Safety & Onboard Video
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates bus transportation without documented onboard video or telematics systems, creating a proactive liability and student safety gap. Without these tools, the district lacks incident documentation, driver accountability, and real-time visibility needed to protect students and manage operational risk.
The opportunity
With the FY2025–2026 budget approved and cooperative purchasing available, the district has a low-friction procurement path to address this gap now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports responsible stewardship of public funds and strengthens student safety before incidents occur.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's fragmented IT environment—evidenced by inconsistent email domains and an annual technology spend of $200,632 with no documented endpoint management solution—creates measurable cybersecurity exposure. Without centralized oversight, student and staff data remain vulnerable and operational continuity is at risk.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2025–2026 budget confirms available funding, and grant programs aligned with K–12 public safety and technology infrastructure offer additional cost pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close compliance gaps and reduce operational risk before they escalate.
