Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly-posted Emergency Operations Plan, creating a critical compliance gap under MCL 380.1308b and NIMS requirements tied to grant eligibility. Undocumented reliance on county-level emergency management leaves students and staff exposed during safety incidents.
The opportunity
Active grant funding through the COPS School Violence Prevention Program explicitly covers expedited notification systems and school security technology, offering a near-term, funded procurement path. Acting within the current 90-day window addresses statutory mandates, closes safety gaps, and aligns with the district's upcoming budget planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented, district-hosted mass notification platform, creating a critical emergency preparedness gap. Reliance on county-level systems without verified integration limits rapid communication during incidents, elevating safety and compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program explicitly funds expedited notification systems, creating a direct and time-sensitive funding alignment. Acting within the current grant window addresses a flagged safety gap, supports EOP compliance, and strengthens district-wide emergency response for students and staff.

Web Accessibility · ADA & WCAG Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an active website accessibility policy but carries unresolved gaps tied to a prior federal OCR resolution referencing WCAG 2.0 and WAI-ARIA standards. These ongoing deficiencies create legal exposure and limit equitable digital access for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
With the 2026–2027 budget cycle underway and cooperative purchasing options available, the district has a streamlined path to address compliance gaps now. Acting within the current planning window reduces legal risk and ensures equitable access to public digital resources ahead of the next fiscal year.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent third-party cybersecurity incident has exposed gaps in the district's endpoint protection posture, and no established endpoint management solution is publicly in place. The Google Workspace and Chromebook environment further elevates risk without credential and password management controls.
The opportunity
Active bond funding and an ongoing IT modernization initiative signal budget alignment for technology upgrades in the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and credential management gaps now reduces breach exposure, supports compliance, and strengthens stewardship of district technology assets.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Transportation Monitoring Initiative
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks any documented telematics or dashcam deployment across its transportation fleet, creating measurable gaps in driver accountability, incident documentation, and student safety oversight. Without visibility into fleet operations, the district carries elevated liability exposure and limited ability to respond to or prevent transportation incidents.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements offer an accelerated, compliant procurement path that reduces administrative burden and compresses timelines for small districts with limited procurement staff. Addressing this gap during active budget planning aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and positions the district to strengthen transportation safety before the next school year.
