Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, no documented biennial EOP reviews, and no recorded exercises or after-action reports, placing it in direct non-compliance with MCL 380.1308b. These gaps represent critical deficiencies in emergency preparedness infrastructure, elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The COPS FY2026 Technology and Equipment Program, open to local educational agencies with a July 2026 deadline, provides a direct and time-sensitive funding path to address these compliance and preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the district's active budget planning and an August 2026 millage renewal that could further strengthen financial capacity.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification system has been identified as a potential single point of failure for family and staff communications, and no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan or documented exercises exist. Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates biennial EOP review, and available records show no evidence of compliance, elevating both operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
The COPS FY2026 Technology and Equipment Program, with a July 2026 deadline, explicitly lists local educational agencies as eligible and covers technology purchases, creating a direct and near-term funding path. Acting within this fiscal window advances compliance, closes a critical communications gap, and strengthens safety outcomes for students, staff, and families.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district is subject to WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards as a legal obligation for public entities, yet no documented compliance plan or structured remediation effort has been identified. With the district's website managed through a third-party platform, unaddressed gaps create meaningful legal exposure and risk excluding community members from equitable access to public information.
The opportunity
The absence of a formal compliance plan elevates legal and reputational risk heading into the next fiscal cycle, making this an urgent priority for budget and procurement planning. Active procurement channels and a healthy technology spend position the district to address this gap efficiently and align with its public equity obligations.
Fleet Safety & Transportation Telematics Modernization
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has a documented history of bus-involved accidents, including a fatality, with no public evidence of dashcam or telematics systems in place. This gap leaves the district exposed to ongoing liability risk and limits its ability to document incidents or monitor driver behavior.
The opportunity
Recent board approvals for capital and maintenance projects signal available funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing membership can accelerate procurement timelines. Addressing this gap now reduces liability exposure and strengthens the district's duty of care for students in transit.
Cybersecurity Posture Consolidation and Gap Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a maturing but fragmented cybersecurity environment with endpoint, firewall, and network monitoring tools that may lack integration or unified coverage. Active cybersecurity mandates and a complex technology ecosystem elevate the risk of compliance gaps and undetected vulnerabilities affecting student and staff data.
The opportunity
An active technology refresh cycle and over $1 million in annual IT spend signal a timely evaluation window aligned with upcoming fiscal planning. Consolidating and strengthening cybersecurity coverage now reduces operational risk, supports mandate compliance, and positions the district for eligible state and federal funding pathways.
