Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Safety Readiness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan and faces an overdue Michigan-mandated EOP review for the 2026–27 compliance cycle. Governance and safety protocol failures have drawn public scrutiny, and critical gaps in mass notification and crisis response elevate risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The 2026–27 review deadline creates a near-term, mandated action window, and BRIC and HSGP grants offer viable funding paths for school emergency preparedness projects. Acting now aligns with the district's active safety strategic initiative and positions leadership to address compliance, reduce liability, and strengthen community trust.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a unified mass notification system, creating a critical gap in emergency communications for staff, students, and residents. This absence compounds existing safety and insurability concerns and conflicts with Michigan's overdue EOP review cycle for 2026–27, elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs explicitly fund emergency communications and alerting systems, offering a viable path that reduces reliance on constrained general-fund dollars under the district's active deficit elimination plan. With the 2026–27 EOP review cycle approaching and a recently approved budget creating an active decision window, acting now aligns procurement with compliance timelines and strengthens district-wide safety outcomes.
Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Audit Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented IT ecosystem with gaps in unified endpoint management, compounded by corrective actions stemming from a 2025 audit. A recent computer purchase and active four-year device replacement cycle signal near-term infrastructure decisions that carry operational and compliance risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The newly approved FY2026–2027 budget and an active contract renewal window create a timely procurement opening, with cooperative purchasing available to streamline a compliant process. Acting now supports audit remediation, strengthens IT continuity, and aligns spending with an already-approved fiscal plan.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented technology environment with uncoordinated cybersecurity tools and no unified credential or password management system. This creates measurable security risk, complicates audit remediation, and leaves sensitive student and staff data exposed to preventable threats.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grants explicitly cover cybersecurity enhancements, offering a funded pathway outside constrained general-fund budgets. New leadership and an active FY2026–27 budget cycle create a timely window to consolidate systems, reduce risk, and align with ongoing audit corrective actions.
ADA & Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified ADA accessibility gaps—including physical infrastructure and digital content—with no structured accessibility program in place. These gaps carry regulatory exposure and heighten legal and insurability risk, particularly given active litigation and findings from the 2025 audit.
The opportunity
Bundling accessibility remediation with broader corrective actions tied to the 2025 audit creates an efficient path to compliance within the current decision window. Eligible initiatives may align with state or federal funding, reducing the burden on a constrained general fund under the district's deficit elimination plan.
