Emergency Operations Plan Development and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and reliable mass notification capabilities. Michigan EOP/NIMS mandates and federal funding eligibility requirements create direct compliance obligations the district must address to protect students and staff.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs—including those targeting resilient communications and preparedness infrastructure—are actively available and align with this district's documented gaps. Acting within the current funding cycle supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and strengthens emergency readiness for the school community.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on fragmented mass notification channels with no centralized system, creating a critical gap in emergency communications. This limits the ability to reliably reach staff and community during incidents, elevating risk against Michigan EOP and NIMS compliance expectations.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs explicitly fund resilient communications and mass-notification systems, offering a near-term funding pathway with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant cycle advances emergency preparedness — the district's top strategic priority — while closing compliance gaps tied to NIMS implementation and federal funding eligibility.
Strengthen Fleet Safety and Transportation Oversight
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety
High Priority
About this project
Public complaints about bus capacity and the absence of telematics or dashcam documentation signal meaningful gaps in the district's transportation oversight and incident response capability. Without visibility into driver behavior and vehicle activity, the district faces elevated safety and liability risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A 2024 Bond Proposal indicates potential capital funding that could support transportation safety improvements, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the district to close safety gaps, improve accountability, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public funds.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on Google Workspace without a dedicated password or identity management solution, leaving staff and student credentials vulnerable to unauthorized access. This gap represents a measurable cybersecurity risk and an opportunity to consolidate identity controls across the environment.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement vehicles already in use by the district simplify and accelerate the path to a compliant solution within the current or upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces credential-based breach risk and supports responsible stewardship of district data and public trust.
