Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented county coordination, and recent HSEEP-style exercises, placing it out of compliance with Michigan Publication 201a and NIMS standards. Recent regional severe weather events have intensified the operational and safety risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs explicitly support school emergency preparedness initiatives, and a leadership transition creates a near-term window for advancing new priorities. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens district-wide safety outcomes.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and limiting access for residents and families with disabilities. Achieving the WCAG 2.1 AA standard is an active strategic priority, with incumbent platforms requiring evaluation for displacement or integration to meet the mandate.
The opportunity
Upcoming Board of Education meetings in August and September 2026 create near-term windows for budget and contract approvals. Acting within the current fiscal cycle advances compliance, reduces legal risk, and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus incident involving a driver medical emergency revealed the district has no dashcams or telematics systems in place, leaving critical gaps in real-time oversight, evidence collection, and driver accountability. Without these tools, the district faces elevated safety, liability, and operational risk across its transportation program.
The opportunity
The urgency created by a recent incident makes this a near-term priority, and cooperative purchasing agreements offer an accelerated, compliant procurement path that reduces administrative burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to mitigate liability exposure and strengthen student transportation safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a cybersecurity mandate for endpoint controls but lacks a formal password management policy, leaving identity and access management gaps across its Google Workspace and Chromebook environment. Without dedicated funding, budget constraints risk leaving critical security controls unaddressed and student and staff data exposed.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding represents an eligible grant pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, and the district's current technology policy work provides a foundation to act within the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance and operational risk while aligning with the new superintendent's modernization priorities.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a formal password management policy, leaving credential security unaddressed within its Google Workspace and Chromebook environment. This gap exposes staff and student accounts to unauthorized access risk, undermining the district's broader cybersecurity posture.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity initiatives of this type may qualify for HSGP funding support, offering a viable path forward within constrained budget conditions. Acting during the current planning cycle allows the district to close a foundational security gap before it becomes a compliance or incident-response liability.
