Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
Recent incidents — including a school bus sideswipe and a DOT driver disqualification — expose significant fleet safety gaps and a reactive operational posture. Without a proactive telematics and driver monitoring program, the district faces continued safety, liability, and compliance risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Documented safety incidents create immediate justification for investment, and the voter-approved 2025 capital bond ($78.5M for technology and system upgrades) may provide an eligible funding pathway. Cooperative purchasing channels support an accelerated procurement timeline, enabling the district to act within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district must complete an EOP review under MCL 380.1308b and adopt MSP-mandated standardized emergency response terminology by July 1, 2026. Without a district-owned mass notification platform, reliance on a county-managed system creates jurisdictional gaps and leaves students, staff, and families exposed during flooding and other emergencies.
The opportunity
The July 2026 compliance deadline creates a firm action window, and both HSGP and BRIC grant programs explicitly support emergency equipment and school resilience projects with near-term deadlines. Acting now positions the district to secure available funding, close preparedness gaps, and meet state mandates before the deadline.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's standing policy mandates WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, yet website accessibility remains an unresolved operational gap. Continued non-compliance exposes the district to legal liability, reputational harm, and inequitable access to digital services for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
A voter-approved 2025 capital bond and cooperative procurement channels provide viable, near-term funding pathways to address this gap. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces ongoing legal risk and ensures equitable digital access in alignment with district policy.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a 2026 Windows 11 compliance deadline requiring 60 endpoint replacements, with active procurement already underway. Without a structured endpoint management approach, the district risks security gaps, operational disruption, and non-compliance across its technology infrastructure.
The opportunity
The Technology & Security Enhancement Millage and a voter-approved $78.5M capital bond provide identified funding for this initiative, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now ensures compliance ahead of the 2026 deadline while maximizing dedicated millage resources before the refresh window closes.
