Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented exercises, and relies on a county-level notification system with unclear district-specific integration. A March 2026 shelter-in-place event has exposed significant preparedness gaps, elevating compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Active 2026–2027 budget planning and grant programs explicitly covering emergency management and mass notification create a near-term funding window. Addressing these gaps now reduces liability, meets EOP compliance mandates, and strengthens district-level safety infrastructure before the next fiscal cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has publicly acknowledged gaps in WCAG and ADA compliance across its digital presence, creating measurable legal and reputational exposure. Without remediation, the district risks civil complaints, loss of public trust, and failure to meet equitable access obligations for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Active budget planning for the 2026–2027 fiscal cycle creates a near-term window to fund and prioritize accessibility remediation. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces legal risk, advances equity commitments, and positions the district to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 Chromebook program and Google-centric environment create specific compatibility demands for its current password management solution, purchased in 2022 and potentially misaligned with today's needs. At the scale of district-wide device deployment, unaddressed credential management gaps elevate cybersecurity risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
An incoming IT Director in mid-2026 creates a natural window for contract re-evaluation, and active 2026–2027 budget planning supports timely investment decisions. Cybersecurity initiatives with computing or communications components may qualify for available grant funding, reducing local cost burden.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's transportation department lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating unaddressed liability exposure and gaps in incident response, driver behavior monitoring, and fleet compliance. Without visibility into fleet operations, the district faces elevated safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Budget planning for the 2026–2027 fiscal cycle presents a timely window for capital investment, and cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan districts can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden. Addressing this gap now strengthens student safety oversight and positions the district ahead of potential compliance scrutiny.
