Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available comprehensive EOP and has no documented formal emergency exercises, creating significant operational and safety gaps. Michigan Publication 201a mandates EOP review every four years or upon CEO change, and reliance on county-managed mass notification leaves the district without a dedicated, district-controlled alert capability.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $9.5M capital bond and established FEMA preparedness grant paths provide strong, near-term funding alignment for this initiative. Addressing compliance mandates and closing the preparedness gap now reduces institutional risk and strengthens safety outcomes for students and staff ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently has no dedicated mass notification system, relying entirely on a county-managed platform that limits direct control over time-sensitive communications to staff, students, and families. This dependency creates measurable operational risk and leaves the district out of compliance with Michigan EOP review requirements and state school safety drill mandates.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $9.5M capital bond and FEMA preparedness grant programs provide viable, near-term funding paths for this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns investment with bond deployment timelines, closes a documented compliance gap, and strengthens the district's independent emergency response posture.
FEMA BRIC
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates on Google Workspace without a documented password management solution, creating inferred credential security gaps across staff and student accounts. Active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiatives are underway, and general IT security controls remain a compliance consideration for the district.
The opportunity
With a constrained annual IT budget, the district benefits from prioritizing lightweight, cost-effective security controls during the current modernization cycle. Addressing credential management gaps now reduces operational risk, supports compliance posture, and aligns with the district's ongoing strategic IT priorities.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented onboard video or telematics capability, and fleet maintenance conditions are unknown, creating latent operational and liability exposure. While no accidents or incidents are on record, these gaps leave student transportation safety and risk management without measurable oversight.
The opportunity
A voter-approved $9.5M capital bond is entering active spending decisions, with JAG and TEP grants identified as additional funding paths for transportation safety improvements. Proactive alignment now positions the district to address fleet visibility gaps before liability or compliance events create urgency.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's WordPress-based website lacks documented WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating ongoing federal ADA exposure and limiting equitable digital access for residents, families, and students with disabilities. Without a defined compliance posture, the district faces latent legal risk and potential civil rights liability.
The opportunity
The upcoming bond announcement and budget hearing window in June 2026 creates a natural planning moment to stage digital accessibility improvements alongside capital priorities. Remediation efforts may align with state or federal funding pathways and support broader equity and public-access obligations in the current fiscal cycle.
