Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Harrison Community Schools lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a reliable mass-notification system, with documented phone outages and heavy reliance on social media during incidents drawing community criticism. Michigan NIMS implementation and Publication 201 EOP requirements create pressing compliance mandates that elevate operational and reputational risk for the district.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned grant opportunities—including COPS SVPP, HSGP, and BRIC—carry July/August 2026 deadlines, and an active RFP with board decisions expected summer–fall 2026 signals a near-term procurement window. Acting now positions the district to close critical compliance gaps, restore community trust, and leverage available funding before the fiscal window closes.
COPS SVPP
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Oversight
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on contracted transportation services without publicly documented in-cab video or telematics capabilities, creating a measurable safety oversight gap and liability exposure. Without real-time fleet visibility, the district lacks the data needed to ensure student safety and manage contractor accountability.
The opportunity
Active transportation procurement signals an open evaluation window, making this an opportune moment to establish telematics standards before contracts are renewed. Addressing fleet visibility now reduces liability risk, supports student safety outcomes, and may align with cooperative purchasing pathways available in the current fiscal cycle.
Strengthen Endpoint and Password Security Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks publicly identified solutions for password management and endpoint protection, indicating foundational cybersecurity controls may be absent. These gaps elevate risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and non-compliance with baseline security standards for public education entities.
The opportunity
The JAG grant presents a near-term funding pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, with deadlines anticipated in the July/August 2026 window. Addressing these gaps now aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and supports responsible stewardship of student and staff data.
Cooperative Procurement Enrollment for Technology Initiatives
Procurement Modernization · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified several cooperative purchasing programs as likely applicable but has not confirmed active enrollment in any, leaving a critical procurement gap. Without a verified co-op vehicle, technology acquisitions across emergency management, cybersecurity, and fleet initiatives face slower timelines and potentially higher costs.
The opportunity
With active procurement signals — including an RFP on the district's website and board decisions anticipated in the near term — confirming cooperative eligibility now could accelerate compliant, cost-effective purchasing ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle and grant deadlines.
