Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no established EOP review cycle, and has no dedicated emergency management leadership. Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) and NIMS requirements mandate EOP compliance, and a recent county-level state of emergency underscores the operational risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
A $6.68M MDE infrastructure grant and an August 2026 millage explicitly referencing school security improvements provide near-term funding pathways. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns compliance obligations with available resources and strengthens district-wide preparedness before the next budget cycle closes.

School Safety · Emergency Preparedness
High Priority
About this project
The district's sinking fund millage and MDE infrastructure grant explicitly prioritize school security improvements and technology upgrades, signaling a broad capital investment cycle. Gaps in publicly available Emergency Operations Plans and dedicated emergency management leadership elevate compliance and operational risk under Michigan's EOP mandate (MCL 380.1308b).
The opportunity
An August 2026 millage vote and an available $6.68M MDE infrastructure grant create an immediate, time-sensitive funding window for physical and digital security investments. Acting now aligns with Michigan EOP compliance requirements, FY2026 grant cycles (TEP and SVPP), and the district's stated capital priorities—maximizing public safety outcomes before the funding window closes.

IT Modernization · Ed Tech Governance
High Priority
About this project
The district operates multiple fragmented point solutions across administrative and instructional functions, creating inefficiencies, elevated support burden, and consolidation risk. A pending millage proposal explicitly references technology acquisition and upgrades, signaling a near-term window to rationalize the technology environment.
The opportunity
An August 2026 millage vote, if passed, would unlock capital funding explicitly designated for technology investment, aligning procurement timing with a single consolidation cycle. Acting ahead of that window positions the district to move quickly, maximize funding impact, and reduce long-term operational complexity.

Discuss this project →Student Transportation Fleet Safety Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Safety & Accountability
High Priority
About this project
The district's fleet currently lacks dash-camera and telematics solutions, creating a documented safety and accountability gap in student transportation operations. A historical federal lawsuit underscores the liability exposure, and no technology controls are in place to support incident documentation or driver oversight.
The opportunity
An August 2026 millage vote explicitly includes student transportation vehicle acquisition, creating a near-term, funded entry point for fleet safety technology adoption. Engaging ahead of the vote positions the district to incorporate safety technology into procurement planning during the upcoming capital cycle.
