EOP Compliance Review & Preparedness Infrastructure
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a statutory biennial EOP review mandate under MCL 380.1308b, with no public evidence of current documentation infrastructure or completed HSEEP exercise findings. These gaps elevate regulatory, safety, and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The biennial review cycle creates a near-term, deadline-driven window to act, and FEMA BRIC and HSGP grants explicitly fund emergency communications and preparedness initiatives. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan districts can further streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification & Emergency Communications Consolidation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a named mass-notification platform and has no public evidence of an active emergency communications system, creating a direct safety and operational gap. A statutory biennial EOP review requirement (MCL 380.1308b) adds compliance urgency, while a concurrent mobile app consolidation initiative presents a timely opportunity to integrate unified notification capabilities.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grants explicitly support emergency communications investments, offering a viable funding path with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the district to align procurement with cooperative purchasing vehicles, accelerating implementation and closing a critical safety gap for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented dashcam or telematics use, leaving student transportation without a visible risk mitigation framework and creating moderate liability exposure. Without a formal monitoring solution, the district has no structured basis for addressing fleet safety incidents or demonstrating operational accountability.
The opportunity
The district's active grant funding environment and access to cooperative procurement vehicles support a near-term, cost-effective path to closing this liability gap. Acting within the current fiscal cycle strengthens student safety outcomes and positions the district to demonstrate responsible stewardship of transportation operations.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Posture and Identity Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's cybersecurity posture is only partially compliant, with identified gaps in password security and identity management that expose staff, student data, and district systems to organizational risk. An existing Microsoft 365/Azure infrastructure baseline is present but endpoint vulnerabilities remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
An active modernization initiative and stable leadership environment create an open planning window aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to Michigan districts can reduce procurement friction and support cost-effective remediation of compliance and security gaps.
