Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating active compliance gaps under Michigan EOP requirements and NIMS mandates. The absence of a contracted mass notification system further compounds safety and preparedness risks for students and staff.
The opportunity
The district's approved 2025 bond program explicitly funds Emergency Management and Public Safety projects beginning in 2026, providing a clear budget mandate and near-term action window. Addressing these compliance and preparedness gaps now positions the district to meet state mandates while responsibly deploying committed public funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on an uncontracted, informally adopted mass notification system with no public procurement record, undermining reliable emergency communication for staff, students, and families. This gap conflicts with Michigan EOP and NIMS compliance requirements and elevates operational risk during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A voter-approved bond program with dedicated funding for safety and security projects beginning in 2026 creates a clear, time-aligned window to formalize and modernize emergency notification. Acting now supports EOP compliance, strengthens community trust, and positions the district to leverage available capital funding before project timelines advance.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks an enterprise password manager, creating an unaddressed gap in identity and access security that cybersecurity mandates now require. The approved 2025 bond program explicitly includes IT and cybersecurity modernization, confirming a recognized operational risk affecting staff, students, and district systems.
The opportunity
Bond funding for IT and cybersecurity modernization begins in 2026, and the district is a potential State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program recipient, offering dual funding pathways. Acting now positions the district to close a compliance gap, strengthen data protection, and align procurement with active budget cycles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's published Web Accessibility Procedure mandates WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and bi-annual audits, yet gaps in full compliance persist despite existing tools. Unresolved accessibility barriers elevate legal and civil rights risk while limiting equitable access to digital services for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The district's recurring bi-annual audit cycle and active Website Accessibility strategic initiative signal sustained budget commitment and a structured remediation window. With FY26/27 budget recently approved and bond-funded technology infrastructure projects on the horizon, timing aligns to close compliance gaps efficiently.
IT Infrastructure Modernization for District-Wide Operations
IT Modernization · K-12 Education Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district's FY26/27 budget and 2025 bond program explicitly fund updated technology infrastructure, signaling acknowledged gaps in the current IT environment. With over 4,000 students and more than $2 million in annual IT spend, aging systems present operational continuity and cybersecurity compliance risks.
The opportunity
Capital funding tied to the approved bond program opens a defined procurement window beginning in 2026, aligning with enterprise-scale IT planning. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to meet compliance mandates, reduce operational risk, and maximize bond-funded investment outcomes.
