Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented EOP review date, has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and relies on informal apps and social media for mass notification. Michigan's mandated 4-year EOP review cycle creates a clear compliance gap, elevating operational and safety risk for students and staff during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program grant—covering emergency alerts and panic systems up to $500,000—has an open FY26 application window, creating an immediate funding pathway. With a new Superintendent in place and the FY26-27 budget cycle underway, conditions are aligned for leadership to act and close critical preparedness gaps.
Fleet Safety and Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district sustained a $72,100 insurance-funded bus replacement following an asset-damage claim, with no evidence of onboard video or telematics systems currently in use. This unmitigated gap limits driver accountability, evidence collection, and the district's ability to proactively reduce future liability exposure.
The opportunity
A documented liability incident and a cost-conscious FY26-27 budget environment—marked by $1.7M in reductions—create strong urgency for solutions with clear, measurable ROI. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan districts can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden within the current fiscal planning window.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has a formal Website Accessibility Policy aligned to WCAG/ADA standards, yet active compliance gaps remain in its third-party website and app platforms. These gaps expose the district to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
The district's established compliance baseline makes remediation a mandated priority, and the FY26-27 budget cycle provides a natural procurement window. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan districts can streamline acquisition and support cost-effective resolution within current planning timelines.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's bond-funded modernization has produced a fragmented environment—parallel email platforms, separate student information and communications systems—creating measurable gaps in password management and unified identity governance. Without consolidated credential controls, the district faces elevated risk of unauthorized access and operational disruption across staff and student systems.
The opportunity
The 2026–27 budget adoption cycle represents a defined procurement window to address these gaps with clear administrative mandate and existing bond investment as a foundation. Solutions in this space are broadly eligible for technology modernization funding and align with the district's active governance posture and fiscal-year planning timeline.
