School Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented drills or audits, creating a critical compliance gap under MCL 380.1308b, which mandates EOPs for Michigan schools. This exposes the district to significant legal liability and puts student and staff safety at risk.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant explicitly funds notification technology and security infrastructure, offering a direct funding path ahead of the June 2026 budget cycle. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap, reduces legal exposure, and positions the district to secure available federal dollars.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current alerting relies solely on a SIS-driven tool, leaving critical gaps in reaching all stakeholders during emergencies. This fragmented approach elevates operational risk and conflicts with Michigan's EOP compliance mandate (MCL 380.1308b), which requires documented, comprehensive emergency preparedness.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program explicitly allows expedited notification technology as an allowable use, offering a direct funding path with limited local match. Acting within the current budget cycle and through existing cooperative purchasing agreements accelerates procurement and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates extended rural bus routes with no documented in-vehicle video or telematics systems, creating measurable gaps in student safety oversight and fleet liability management. Without real-time monitoring tools, the district lacks the data needed to respond to incidents, manage driver behavior, or demonstrate due diligence.
The opportunity
Active fleet solicitations and an open procurement window—supported by cooperative purchasing agreements—position the district to move efficiently through vendor selection within the current budget cycle. Proactive investment in fleet safety monitoring reduces liability exposure and strengthens the district's stewardship of student welfare.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks centralized credential management, leaving staff and administrative accounts vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches. This gap, flagged in the district's own Acceptable Use Policy, elevates cybersecurity risk across all networked systems and user accounts.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing contracts available to the district can accelerate procurement and reduce administrative burden within the current budget cycle. Addressing this gap now strengthens data governance, reduces breach liability, and aligns credential security with the district's existing AUP commitments.
