Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, operates a fragmented mass notification environment, and has no evidence of HSEEP-compliant exercises — creating significant safety and compliance risk under Michigan K-12 EOP review mandates and NIMS implementation requirements.
The opportunity
A $4.4M FEMA grant for safe school operations is already in place, and active IT/security RFPs signal imminent procurement decisions. Addressing EOP gaps now aligns with compliance mandates, strengthens student and staff safety, and maximizes available funding before award windows close.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented notification environment — split between city-managed and district-managed systems — reducing reliability and coordination during emergencies. With no publicly documented EOP and overdue NIMS and Michigan K-12 EOP compliance requirements, the operational and safety risk to students and staff is significant.
The opportunity
A FEMA grant supporting safe school operations and alignment with the district's 24/7 Command Center initiative create a compelling, near-term window to act. Consolidating notification infrastructure now addresses documented compliance gaps, strengthens emergency response, and leverages available federal funding before the current cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance commitment, signaling known accessibility gaps across public-facing digital properties. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limit equitable access for families, students, and community members.
The opportunity
An established WCAG 2.1 AA program and executive-level awareness create a defined procurement window aligned with current planning cycles. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may accelerate acquisition, and remediation investments support equitable service delivery and reduced compliance risk.

Fleet Management · Student & Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has adopted bus stop-arm camera technology but lacks documented dashcam or telematics capabilities for its public safety vehicle fleet, creating evidentiary and oversight gaps. Active bus pilot programs and a security technology contract expiring by end of 2027 signal near-term procurement decisions with operational continuity implications.
The opportunity
FY26 COPS TEP and JAG grant windows offer strong funding alignment for law enforcement fleet and safety technology, reducing local budget pressure. Acting within the current procurement cycle ensures continuity, strengthens fleet accountability, and positions the district to maximize available public safety funding.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's existing Microsoft 365 and GIS environments present credential management and endpoint security gaps that elevate operational risk across schools and administrative systems. Technology standards remain inconsistent, and active security procurement decisions are imminent, creating urgency to address vulnerabilities before contract windows close.
The opportunity
Multiple IT and security RFPs are under evaluation with near-term award decisions, and the district's $1.1 billion FY2026-27 general fund supports technology investment. Acting within the current procurement cycle ensures alignment with budget authority, reduces exposure, and strengthens district-wide security posture.
