Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has experienced multiple recent school bus accidents with injuries, exposing critical gaps in GPS and telematics capabilities and drawing significant public scrutiny. Advanced telematics, exterior cameras, automated event capture, and driver coaching tools are urgently needed to reduce safety risk and restore community confidence.
The opportunity
An active bond-funded bus replacement and outfitting program creates immediate budget availability and procurement momentum for safety technology upgrades. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in use, streamlining acquisition and enabling the district to act quickly within the current initiative cycle.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Huron Valley Schools lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented HSEEP-style exercises or after-action reviews, and has unverified mass-notification capabilities — all for a district serving over 8,000 students. State compliance mandates requiring periodic EOP review with CEO signature create a direct regulatory driver, and unresolved gaps elevate both operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
A voter-approved bond explicitly covering safety and communication upgrades provides available, dedicated funding for this initiative. The COPS SVPP grant — open with an August 2026 deadline — directly covers communications equipment aligned with mass notification, creating a clear and time-sensitive funding window. Acting now aligns with the district's stated strategic priority of safety and emergency communications modernization while closing compliance gaps before the next review cycle.

IT Modernization · Infrastructure & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has active procurement underway to replace aging data center hardware, driven by escalating software licensing costs and a strategic shift away from its current virtualization platform. This initiative includes endpoint management for the new infrastructure, with budget decisions expected in the near term.
The opportunity
Active procurement and immediate budget allocation signal a near-term decision window, and a potential countywide millage could expand operating funds to support ongoing IT infrastructure needs. Addressing this now reduces operational risk, improves cost efficiency, and aligns with the district's current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Enterprise Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies on a basic credential tool that lacks enterprise-grade capability, leaving staff accounts and sensitive systems inadequately protected at scale. This gap in password and credential governance elevates cybersecurity risk across district technology services and supporting infrastructure.
The opportunity
The district's active Technology Services modernization initiative and potential operating fund expansion create a timely window to close this security gap. Addressing credential management now supports audit readiness, reduces breach exposure, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Immutable Backup & Data Protection Modernization
Data Governance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active data center hardware refresh, combined with a shift away from existing virtualization infrastructure, has exposed gaps in documented backup and recovery capabilities. Without immutable backup protections in place, the district risks data loss and operational disruption during and after the infrastructure transition.
The opportunity
The current data center procurement cycle creates a natural, cost-efficient window to integrate backup and data protection into the broader modernization investment. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the district can streamline acquisition and support responsible stewardship of public funds.
