Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Remediation
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's EOP review is overdue against Michigan's mandated even-year requirement, and no evidence of HSEEP-aligned exercises exists. A 2025 school closure triggered by a social media threat underscores active preparedness gaps that elevate legal, operational, and student safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program presents a directly aligned funding pathway for emergency management and communications improvements. Acting within the current grant window addresses overdue compliance, reduces institutional liability, and strengthens district-wide crisis readiness ahead of the next review cycle.

Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a district-wide telematics or dash-cam program, leaving real-time vehicle and driver behavior unmonitored. Driver shortages and Michigan winter conditions elevate operational risk, and the existing routing system provides no live fleet visibility.
The opportunity
Active funding through a state clean bus energy grant and a voter-approved capital bond—both explicitly covering buses, safety, and security—creates a near-term procurement window. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes access to identified funds and directly improves student transportation safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · Student Data Protection
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an active cybersecurity compliance mandate with two-factor authentication in place, but lacks a confirmed endpoint management solution, leaving student data and identity systems exposed. A referenced student information system security incident heightens sensitivity around data protection gaps across the district's Google Workspace environment.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program identifies cybersecurity for emergency systems as a fundable area, and a November 2026 millage renewal could further support broader investments. Acting within the current grant window allows the district to close compliance gaps, protect student data, and align spending with available public funding.

Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's current WCAG 2.0 AA policy, while previously considered compliant, presents a growing gap as WCAG 2.1 emerges as the prevailing ADA risk-reduction standard. Unaddressed accessibility deficiencies in public-facing digital portals increase legal exposure and limit equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Recent IT infrastructure procurement activity signals an active modernization cycle, creating a natural window to address digital compliance alongside broader technology investments. Proactively closing WCAG 2.1 gaps now reduces ADA liability, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with the district's upcoming fiscal planning horizon.
Securing District-Wide Endpoint Device Management
IT Modernization · Student Data Security
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 Chromebook program serves approximately 6,912 students without a confirmed endpoint management solution in place, creating measurable security and operational gaps across the entire device fleet. Without centralized visibility and control, district-managed devices remain vulnerable to data exposure and unmanaged risk affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
A $258M voter-approved bond explicitly designates instructional technology as a fundable category, providing a direct and active budget pathway for this initiative. Addressing this gap now aligns with current capital investment cycles and supports responsible stewardship of publicly approved funds.
