Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, a mass notification system, and dedicated emergency management staffing, creating significant legal and safety exposure. Compliance mandates under MCL 380.1308b and Michigan Publication 201 require EOP review and signature, leaving students, staff, and the district at risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grants offer strong funding pathways for preparedness initiatives, and the district's stable budget supported by state K-12 funding and a renewed millage provides a viable local match base. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses non-discretionary compliance requirements while meaningfully improving school safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a mass notification system, leaving staff, students, and families without a reliable emergency communication channel. This gap is flagged as a critical deficiency alongside an incomplete Emergency Operations Plan, creating compounding compliance and safety risk under Michigan state mandates.
The opportunity
State and federal grant programs, including homeland security preparedness funding, are aligned with this initiative and may significantly offset local costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance with MCL 380.1308b, reduces operational risk, and strengthens community-wide emergency readiness. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline and accelerate procurement.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has a documented commitment to WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, yet ongoing website accessibility gaps persist across web content, PDFs, and document workflows. These gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable access to public information for students, families, and community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle for digital services and stable K-12 funding create near-term budget alignment for addressing compliance-driven accessibility needs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk and advances the district's stated equity and digital inclusion priorities.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an active transportation program without dash cameras or telematics, limiting its ability to defend against disputed incidents and identify unsafe driver behaviors. This gap exposes the district to operational and liability risk without data to support corrective action or capital planning decisions.
The opportunity
Capital planning for transportation is an active strategic priority, and JAG grant funding may offset implementation costs. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, enabling the district to act within the current fiscal cycle without a lengthy competitive bid process.
