Unify Endpoint Management and Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture
Endpoint Management · K-12 Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An ongoing organizational transition is driving urgent demand for unified device management and a stronger cybersecurity posture across 400+ schools. Compliance mandates around endpoint management and system integration create compounding operational and security risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The current transition creates a near-term window to consolidate IT systems, reduce risk, and align with compliance requirements before gaps widen. Federal grant programs, including COPS TEP and JAG, offer viable funding pathways, and the initiative aligns well with upcoming fiscal planning cycles.

Cybersecurity & Identity · K-12 IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Across a managed footprint of 400+ schools, gaps in credential and identity protection create significant exposure to unauthorized access, data breaches, and non-compliance with endpoint security mandates. Without a unified identity management approach, the risk to student data, staff systems, and operational continuity remains elevated.
The opportunity
Active grant funding windows — including cybersecurity-focused federal programs — support credential and identity management initiatives with viable pathways for K-12 entities. Addressing this now aligns with current fiscal planning cycles, reduces compliance risk, and can be advanced through cooperative purchasing vehicles to streamline procurement.
COPS TEP
Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties have identified gaps against WCAG 2.1 AA standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and staff. Unresolved accessibility barriers carry compliance risk and undermine the district's obligation to serve all community members equitably.
The opportunity
Website accessibility remediation is a non-discretionary compliance requirement, making it actionable independent of broader budget constraints. Addressing gaps now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the district to align remediation costs with available technology and equity-focused funding pathways.
Close Emergency Preparedness & Notification Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This district lacks a Michigan-compliant Emergency Operations Plan, an enterprise-grade mass notification system, and documented exercise records. These gaps create significant regulatory compliance deficiencies and leave students, staff, and families underprotected during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Named federal grant programs—including HSGP, SVPP, and BRIC—provide strong funding pathways for emergency management and notification initiatives, reducing local budget pressure. Addressing these gaps now supports compliance, strengthens community trust, and aligns with current grant cycles.
