EOP Development and District-Wide Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a district-level mass notification platform, with recent severe weather events exposing critical coordination gaps. Michigan EOP guidance mandates a CEO-signed review on a four-year cycle, and an active review on the December 2025 agenda confirms both compliance urgency and operational risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in 2026 offer a direct funding path for emergency preparedness investments, and the district's newly adopted 2026–27 budget includes $1.45M in capital projects. A new Superintendent onboarded in December 2025 further opens a window for near-term action aligned with compliance requirements and community safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an Accessibility Statement referencing WCAG standards but carries unresolved compliance gaps in website accessibility. These gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable digital access for parents, students, and community members as the district expands online services.
The opportunity
The district's recently adopted 2026–27 budget includes capital project allocations, creating a near-term funding pathway for accessibility improvements. New district leadership and an active digital services initiative signal readiness to act, making this an optimal window to close WCAG gaps, reduce legal risk, and advance equitable service delivery.

Discuss this project →Strengthening Credential and Cybersecurity Posture
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's cybersecurity policy is only partially implemented, leaving credential and password management gaps that expose systems, staff, and student data to risk. Planned initiatives—including network upgrades, new software adoption, and cloud migration—remain in a funding-seeking stage, prolonging the incomplete security posture.
The opportunity
A recently adopted 2026–27 budget with capital project allocations and new district leadership create a timely window to advance cybersecurity priorities. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement, and IT modernization investments may align with available state or federal funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Digital Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified network upgrades, new software platforms, and cloud adoption as strategic priorities, but these initiatives remain in the planning stage without confirmed IT-specific budget allocations. Without a defined funding path, modernization timelines are at risk of delay, leaving aging infrastructure in place.
The opportunity
The newly adopted 2026–27 budget includes $1.45M in capital projects, creating a near-term window to advance technology investments aligned with the district's roadmap. A leadership transition and cooperative procurement vehicles offer a streamlined path to move from planning to implementation within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented dashcam or telematics tools for its student transportation fleet, leaving driver behavior and incident response unmonitored. This gap creates unmitigated liability exposure and limits the district's ability to respond effectively to safety incidents involving students.
The opportunity
With a new superintendent in place and a recently adopted budget that includes capital project funding, the district has an immediate window to address fleet safety proactively. Acting now reduces risk before an incident drives reactive urgency, and technology investments may align with available capital allocations for the upcoming fiscal year.
