Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a current EOP review date, a district-wide mass notification platform, and documented 2024–2026 emergency drill logs — despite Michigan law mandating biennial EOP reviews. These gaps create direct legal exposure and leave students, staff, and the broader community without verified emergency response protocols.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant programs offer viable funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives, and the current fiscal environment — including recent per-pupil revenue increases — supports targeted investment. Acting within the next 90 days addresses overdue compliance requirements and reduces operational and legal risk before the next review cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a district-wide mass notification platform, creating a critical gap in emergency communication capability. This deficiency compounds existing EOP compliance risk under Michigan law, which mandates biennial plan reviews with consequences for non-compliance.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant funding is applicable to this initiative, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and strengthens the district's ability to protect students and staff during emergencies.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has a board-level mandate under Policy 7540.02 requiring WCAG 2.1 compliance and regular accessibility audits, yet compliance gaps remain unresolved. Without remediation, the district faces ongoing legal exposure and risks excluding community members with disabilities from essential public information.
The opportunity
A newly hired Technology Coordinator in 2025–2026 and active procurement channels signal readiness to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances equity, and aligns with available district funds including a recent per-pupil revenue increase and grant award.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
This small district (660 students) is actively modernizing its IT environment using Google Workspace, creating a clear need for endpoint management and identity/credential security. With at least $394,982 in annual IT and software spend, gaps in endpoint oversight pose operational and data security risks at a scale requiring targeted, cost-conscious solutions.
The opportunity
A newly filled Technology Coordinator role, a $424K grant, and a 2.5% per-pupil funding increase provide timely budget capacity for focused technology investments. Aligning this project with the current fiscal cycle and available cooperative purchasing vehicles supports efficient, compliant procurement.
