Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented safety drills, and a district-level mass notification system, creating significant legal and safety exposure. Unaddressed mandates under MCL 380.1308b and MCL 29.19 elevate compliance risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program offers a direct funding path, and active FY2026–FY2027 budget cycles alongside a July 2026 pre-bid deadline create an immediate decision window. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal liability, strengthens school safety, and aligns with current grant eligibility.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a unified mass notification system, leaving staff, students, and the broader community without reliable emergency communication. This gap conflicts with state EOP compliance mandates (MCL 380.1308b) and elevates operational and safety risk across the district.
The opportunity
The active FY2026/FY2027 budget cycle and the COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant create a near-term funding pathway with strong project alignment. Acting now addresses unmet compliance mandates, closes a critical preparedness gap, and positions the district ahead of an incoming leadership transition.

Student Transportation · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent high-severity bus crash has elevated transportation safety urgency district-wide, yet no dash camera or telematics systems are currently deployed across the fleet. Newly acquired school buses are operating without corresponding safety technology, creating measurable risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
An active FY2026 budget cycle, recently approved FY2027 budget, and cooperative purchasing eligibility create a clear and expedited procurement pathway. Addressing this gap now supports visible safety outcomes ahead of incoming district leadership and aligns with current capital planning windows.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in WCAG/ADA compliance across public-facing web properties, creating legal exposure and barriers for students, families, and staff with disabilities. A website accessibility initiative is an active strategic priority, but the compliance gap remains unresolved.
The opportunity
The active FY2026/FY2027 budget cycle presents a timely window to remediate compliance risk before it escalates into legal or reputational consequences. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan school entities may streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively modernizing IT infrastructure—including service desk and network upgrades—while a prior ransomware incident exposes unresolved endpoint vulnerabilities. Without centralized endpoint visibility and management, student data, staff systems, and operational continuity remain at elevated risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026/FY2027 budget cycle, including increases in Purchased Services, presents a timely funding pathway for endpoint management investment. Acting now aligns with active modernization momentum and reduces the likelihood of another costly cybersecurity disruption to district operations.
