Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district recently experienced a bus incident and faces ongoing driver shortages, with no telematics or onboard video systems currently in place. This gap leaves student safety unmonitored and exposes the district to significant operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The urgency created by a recent incident makes this an immediate priority, with leadership positioned to act. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan districts can streamline procurement and reduce time-to-deployment within the current budget cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a centralized password management solution, creating credential security gaps across staff and systems including Google Workspace. Cybersecurity mandates apply to the district, and without a structured password policy and tooling in place, the risk of unauthorized access and data exposure remains elevated.
The opportunity
The recently approved Monroe County Educational Technology Millage provides dedicated, near-term funding that directly supports cybersecurity initiatives, reducing budget barriers. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to close a known security gap, strengthen compliance posture, and leverage cooperative purchasing for a streamlined procurement path.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has a current EOP and an active mass notification system, but a broader Emergency Operations Center (EOC) capability gap remains. EOP/NIMS compliance mandates require ongoing vigilance, and relying solely on notification tools leaves coordination and response functions underserved.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant presents a defined funding window closing August 2026, directly aligned with school safety and emergency communications needs. Acting within this cycle allows the district to expand EOC capabilities using dedicated external funding, reducing burden on general operating budgets.
Web Accessibility Compliance & Digital Equity Initiative
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active web accessibility compliance initiative with a plan in place, but ongoing gaps in tooling and services create sustained risk of non-compliance. Without continuous investment, digital content may remain inaccessible to students, families, and staff with disabilities, exposing the district to legal and reputational risk.
The opportunity
Web accessibility is a recurring operational need, not a one-time fix, making it well-suited for sustained budget allocation within the upcoming fiscal cycle. The district's technology millage renewal may free up general funds, creating a timely pathway to formalize and strengthen this compliance effort.
