Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, has identified weaknesses in mass notification, and has no recorded HSEEP-style exercises. Michigan EOP review cycle and NIMS compliance mandates create regulatory pressure, heightened by recent regional emergencies affecting operational and reputational standing.
The opportunity
Active FY26-27 budget planning and alignment with state compliance cycles create a near-term procurement window, with federal grant programs available to offset costs. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community safety outcomes, and positions the district ahead of the next mandated review cycle.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification capabilities have documented weaknesses, limiting reliable communication with staff, students, and families during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a publicly documented EOP and overdue NIMS/Michigan EOP compliance requirements, these gaps elevate operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY26–27 budget cycle and active federal grant windows—including school safety and emergency preparedness programs—create a timely funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Addressing notification gaps now strengthens compliance posture, reduces incident response risk, and supports the district's duty to protect students and staff.
FY26 COPS SVPP
Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's bus fleet lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating significant liability exposure and evidence gaps in the event of incidents. An active federal lawsuit and a labor agreement limiting remote monitoring add operational and legal complexity that the district must proactively address.
The opportunity
The FY26-27 budget includes a targeted increase in Transportation expenditures, creating a clear procurement window. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline acquisition, reduce costs, and help the district establish incident documentation standards before liability risk escalates further.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's active 1:1 device program has expanded the endpoint attack surface without a corresponding password or credential management solution in place. Cybersecurity compliance mandates apply, but existing partial solutions leave identifiable gaps that elevate risk for student and staff data.
The opportunity
The FY26–27 budget cycle and active software purchase evaluations create a natural procurement window to close endpoint security gaps cost-effectively. Addressing this now supports compliance posture, reduces breach exposure, and may align with state or federal funding eligible for K–12 cybersecurity initiatives.
