Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus crash resulting in hospitalizations has exposed a critical gap: the district operates without telematics or onboard cameras, leaving students and drivers without essential safety oversight. A new Michigan law now permits stop-arm cameras, adding a compliance and liability dimension that demands immediate attention.
The opportunity
Significant state transportation reimbursement funding provides direct budget alignment for this initiative, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces student safety risk, supports emerging state law compliance, and positions the district to maximize available reimbursement.

Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a named emergency management coordinator, and reliable notification coordination — gaps that elevate risk for students and staff. Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates a biennial EOP review, and the district's current standing indicates this requirement is overdue.
The opportunity
The biennial review mandate creates immediate compliance urgency, and identified preparedness gaps signal the district is behind schedule. The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) offers a viable funding pathway, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces audit exposure while strengthening district-wide safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented notification ecosystem split between a city-managed legacy platform and a separate website-based alert tool, creating coordination gaps during emergencies. This misalignment elevates risk during incidents and conflicts with biennial EOP review requirements under MCL 380.1308b.
The opportunity
Mass-notification modernization is an active strategic initiative with leadership awareness and budget consideration, aligning with the current EOP compliance mandate and Homeland Security Grant Program funding pathways. Consolidating the split ecosystem now reduces operational risk and positions the district ahead of the next biennial review cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's web presence has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to public information for community members, including those with disabilities. Unresolved non-compliance elevates risk of civil complaints and undermines the district's obligation to serve all constituents.
The opportunity
Website platform modernization is already an active strategic initiative, making this an ideal moment to align remediation efforts with existing leadership priorities and budget planning. Cooperative purchasing pathways may reduce procurement friction, and acting within the current fiscal cycle supports timely risk mitigation and community access improvements.

IT Modernization · Capital Planning
High Priority
About this project
The district is constructing a new high school with a dedicated technology line item in the capital budget, with procurement milestones extending through 2028. This multi-phase investment requires careful planning to ensure infrastructure decisions align with long-term operational needs and responsible stewardship of public funds.
The opportunity
Pre-approved capital funding and phased procurement milestones through 2028 create a structured window to advance technology priorities with budget certainty. Acting within current planning cycles ensures infrastructure investments align with construction timelines and broader district technology goals.
