Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented notification redundancy, and evidence of required HSEEP-style exercises. MCL 380.1308b mandates a biennial EOP review, and recent county-level emergency declarations underscore the real-world risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
The compliance obligation is active, and multiple federal grant programs are directly aligned to emergency preparedness initiatives, reducing the local funding burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses an overdue mandate and meaningfully strengthens district-wide safety and operational resilience.
Mass Notification Redundancy & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on a single mass notification platform with documented redundancy gaps, leaving staff and community communications vulnerable during emergencies. Combined with an overdue biennial EOP review required under MCL 380.1308b, these gaps present compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Multiple active grant programs support emergency preparedness and notification modernization with limited local match required. Addressing redundancy gaps now aligns with the biennial EOP compliance window, active capital planning, and the district's current procurement cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has committed to WCAG 2.0/WAI-ARIA accessibility standards, but current gaps in public-facing digital portals create legal exposure and inequitable access for residents and families. Without a structured remediation program, the district remains at risk of civil complaints and ADA-related liability.
The opportunity
Web accessibility compliance represents a recurring, operationally funded need aligned with ongoing budget cycles rather than a one-time capital outlay. Addressing gaps now reduces legal risk, improves equitable public access, and positions the district ahead of increasing federal and state enforcement activity.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
Without onboard video and telematics documentation, the district faces moderate liability exposure in disputed-fault claims involving transportation. The recent appointment of a new Director of Transportation signals an active window for fleet safety evaluation and operational improvement.
The opportunity
A newly onboarded Transportation Director and active budget discussions create a timely entry point for fleet safety investment aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating time to improved safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has established internal cybersecurity and password management policies, signaling recognized gaps in identity and endpoint protection. Without a mature, centrally managed security posture, student data systems and operational infrastructure remain exposed to credential-based threats and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) provides an eligible funding pathway for cybersecurity improvements, aligning with active IT procurement authority and current fiscal planning cycles. Acting now allows the district to reduce operational risk, protect sensitive student data, and maximize available grant resources before the window closes.
