Emergency Operations Plan Development & Exercise Program
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, and holds an emergency preparedness score of 2—signaling significant gaps in readiness. An active Security Services RFP with proposals due July 2026 and a newly hired Safety & Security Supervisor underscore the urgency to formalize preparedness infrastructure.
The opportunity
Confirmed safety-designated funding—including state allocations and millage restoration—alongside HSGP and BRIC grant alignment creates a strong near-term procurement window. Addressing EOP and exercise gaps now reduces compliance and operational risk while maximizing available funding before the active RFP deadline closes.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college's current mass notification platform is operational, but identified gaps in the Emergency Operations Plan—including unclear review cycles and no documented HSEEP-style exercises—raise questions about whether the full emergency communication lifecycle meets campus safety requirements. These gaps create compliance and operational risk for students, staff, and the broader campus community.
The opportunity
Newly approved funding—including a potential millage restoration (~$2.1M annually) and one-time state technology funds (~$1.4M)—is explicitly tied to safety and infrastructure, creating a timely window to modernize emergency notification capabilities. An active Security Services RFP and alignment with federal preparedness grant programs (HSGP, BRIC) further support acting within the current planning and procurement cycle.
Centralized Credential & Password Management Implementation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A compliance mandate explicitly requires credential and password management controls, and the college's active Information Security Policy & Program initiative has surfaced integration gaps within its existing Microsoft Office 365 environment. Without a centralized identity solution, the institution faces elevated security risk and unmet compliance obligations.
The opportunity
State ITEMS funding (~$1.4M one-time), tied to infrastructure, technology, and safety, may support this procurement through cooperative purchasing channels, reducing local budget pressure. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with the active policy initiative and satisfies near-term compliance requirements before audit exposure increases.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The college has a published accessibility commitment with an identified deadline, and WCAG compliance is designated a top strategic priority. Gaps in digital content authoring and remediation put the institution at compliance and equity risk for students and staff who rely on accessible web resources.
The opportunity
A potential operating millage restoration explicitly tied to safety and accessibility provides a direct funding pathway aligned with the current budget cycle. Addressing WCAG gaps now reduces legal and compliance exposure while advancing equitable digital access across the institution.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & IT Infrastructure Consolidation Initiative
IT Modernization · Higher Education Technology
High Priority
About this project
The college faces fragmented endpoint management and broader infrastructure gaps that create operational inefficiency and security exposure. State ITEMS funding—tied explicitly to infrastructure, technology, equipment, maintenance, and safety—signals unmet needs requiring a structured consolidation approach.
The opportunity
A one-time state ITEMS allocation of approximately $1.4M creates a defined spending window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles. Acting within this window enables the college to close infrastructure gaps, strengthen security posture, and maximize eligible public funding before the opportunity lapses.
