EOP Compliance & Campus Emergency Preparedness Consolidation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
This multi-campus network lacks a documented network-level Emergency Operations Plan and operates with fragmented exercise reviews across 22 sites. Compliance mandates—including biennial EOP reviews under MCL 380.1308b, NIMS implementation, and a July 2026 terminology standardization deadline—create compounding safety and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The July 2026 compliance deadline and active federal and state funding cycles (FEMA EMPG, HSGP, JAG, COPS TEP) create a narrow window to act with significant external funding support. A centrally managed consolidation across all 22 campuses can reduce risk, meet mandates, and strengthen community safety outcomes before the fiscal year closes.
Unify Emergency Mass Notification Across 22 Campuses
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented, campus-by-campus notification environment leaves this 22-campus network without coordinated emergency communications, creating measurable safety and compliance risk. Mandates including biennial EOP reviews (MCL 380.1308b) and standardized emergency terminology requirements due by mid-2026 elevate the urgency for a unified, network-wide solution.
The opportunity
State budget allocations—including funds earmarked for communications—and federal Next Gen Warning System funding provide clear financial pathways aligned with the district's School Safety & Security initiative. Acting within the current grant window supports compliance, reduces operational risk across all campuses, and strengthens coordinated emergency response for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates school transportation without any telematics or fleet management solution, leaving driver behavior, incident response, and student safety unmonitored. This visibility gap creates unmitigated operational risk and limits the district's ability to respond to or document on-route incidents.
The opportunity
Federal and state grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines explicitly identify fleet management technology as an eligible category, creating a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window addresses documented safety gaps while aligning expenditures with available public safety funding.
Consolidate and Modernize District IT and Cybersecurity Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified IT and cybersecurity modernization as a formal strategic priority, yet fragmented, campus-level systems and limited spend visibility create uneven security posture and operational risk across all sites. Consolidating these environments is critical to reducing exposure and ensuring consistent protection for students and staff.
The opportunity
A recent per-pupil funding increase provides modest discretionary capacity for IT and cybersecurity investments, and the district's stated strategic initiative creates an organizational mandate to act within the current planning cycle. Standardizing across campuses now reduces long-term cost, closes security gaps, and positions the district for federal funding eligibility.
