Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan statute MCL 380.1308b mandates biennial EOP development and review, creating a recurring compliance obligation. Documented drill communication failures and reunification gaps for special populations signal urgent operational risk to student and staff safety.
The opportunity
State-level funding increases of $321M for school safety and an active federal grant window through the COPS SVPP program provide strong, near-term funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses a statutory deadline, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens community trust.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a modern mass-notification system and has documented communication failures during emergency drills, including inability to reach staff by phone. A fragmented ecosystem between existing communications and student information platforms creates critical gaps in emergency-focused notification coverage, elevating compliance and operational risk under Michigan's EOP mandate (MCL 380.1308b).
The opportunity
The COPS Office SVPP grant, with a deadline in August 2026, explicitly funds school safety notification technology, offering a direct and time-sensitive funding path. State-level budget increases for per-pupil school safety further expand available resources. Acting now aligns with EOP compliance requirements, the upcoming fiscal cycle, and the district's stated school safety priorities.

About this project
A Board-approved 2026-27 budget with an increased E-Rate allocation signals a defined investment window for network and IT infrastructure upgrades. Without proactive planning, districts risk delayed procurement, missed funding timelines, and continued gaps in technology capacity supporting student and staff operations.
The opportunity
The increased E-Rate line item and alignment with the 2026-27 budget cycle create a near-term, fiscally grounded window to advance infrastructure investments. Acting proactively ensures readiness for formal procurement processes and maximizes eligible funding before the cycle closes.

Digital Accessibility · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school faces ongoing regulatory exposure from unresolved website accessibility requirements and baseline cybersecurity policy obligations. Left unaddressed, these gaps create incremental compliance risk for staff, students, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
These compliance areas can be advanced alongside higher-priority initiatives within the current budget cycle, making them practical, low-disruption wins. Addressing them proactively reduces audit exposure and supports responsible stewardship of public technology resources.
