Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
A fatal school bus accident and resulting wrongful-death litigation have exposed the district to significant liability, with no documented dash-cam or telematics deployment creating a critical evidence gap. Ongoing media scrutiny and a recent bus fleet bond proposal underscore the urgency of closing this safety and accountability gap.
The opportunity
The district's fiscal year closes in June 2026, creating a near-term window to act, and cooperative purchasing programs already in use can streamline procurement. State school-safety funding allocations and fleet investment momentum make this an operationally and financially viable initiative to advance now.

About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue, and documented compliance with Michigan EOP guidance and HSEEP exercise requirements remains incomplete. These unmet statutory obligations create measurable regulatory and life-safety risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program offers a July 2026 deadline aligned with emergency management equipment and planning needs, providing a time-sensitive, low-local-match funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes critical compliance gaps, strengthens community safety outcomes, and positions the district ahead of the next required EOP review.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's mass notification system relies on a single mobile app with no documented vendor or backup channel, creating critical gaps in emergency communication reach for staff, students, and families. This undocumented status and limited coverage elevate operational and compliance risk under Michigan EOP guidance and HSEEP exercise requirements.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), with a July 2026 deadline, provides a clear funding pathway for emergency communication infrastructure with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with the district's fiscal cycle, supports EOP compliance, and strengthens community-wide emergency response readiness.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for community members with disabilities. Addressing these gaps is an active strategic initiative, signaling internal alignment but an incomplete remediation path.
The opportunity
With the district's fiscal year closing in June 2026, now is the time to advance accessibility remediation within current budget planning cycles. Closing WCAG 2.1 gaps reduces litigation risk, supports equitable public access, and may align with existing software licensing already in place.
