Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a mass notification system, and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating measurable gaps in student and staff safety. NIMS implementation requirements, EOP lifecycle mandates, Act 12 compliance, and overdue drill documentation elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The 2026–27 school year start creates a firm deployment window, and FEMA's HSGP and EMPG grant programs offer aligned funding paths with cooperative purchasing options available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the district to close compliance gaps, protect students and staff, and responsibly steward public funds.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a mass notification system, creating a critical gap in emergency communications with staff, students, and the broader community. This absence conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements and EOP lifecycle obligations, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The approaching school year deadline creates clear timing urgency for deployment. HSGP grant funding may offset costs, and cooperative purchasing pathways can streamline procurement. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap and ensures the district can communicate reliably during emergencies.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA/WCAG Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active ADA/WCAG legal exposure, including a required public complaint process, while operating an aging CMS that contributes to persistent accessibility gaps. Non-compliant digital infrastructure puts the district at risk of complaints, litigation, and inequitable access for students and families.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines and an active school year timeline create near-term urgency to modernize the district's public-facing digital presence. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MiDEAL may streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating resolution within the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented safety risks in student transportation, including pickup/dropoff congestion and the absence of dash-cam and telematics coverage across its fleet. Without visibility into vehicle operations, the district faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to respond to or investigate incidents.
The opportunity
The upcoming 2026–27 school year provides a natural and time-sensitive deployment window to close these gaps before students return. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan districts can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, supporting responsible use of public funds.
