Emergency Operations Plan Review & NIMS Compliance Update
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's EOP is six years old with documented gaps in required exercises and no evidence of current NIMS compliance. Michigan statute MCL 380.1308b mandates periodic EOP review, placing the district at direct legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 budget cycle creates a near-term decision window, and NIMS compliance is a prerequisite for federal preparedness funding eligibility, including school safety grant programs. Addressing this now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the district's readiness posture.
Enterprise Mass Notification for School Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently lacks an enterprise mass-notification platform, leaving staff, students, and families without a reliable communication channel during emergencies. A six-year-old EOP and overdue compliance requirements under Michigan statute (MCL 380.1308b) and NIMS further elevate operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant provides a direct funding path for mass-notification and school safety solutions, aligning with the active 2026–2027 budget cycle. Acting now addresses mandated compliance gaps, strengthens emergency readiness, and positions the district to secure available funding before the window closes.
Credential Management & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The school currently lacks a password management solution, and its reliance on Google SSO without centralized credential oversight creates measurable identity security risk. Leadership has identified centralized IT and user account management as an active strategic priority, signaling readiness to close this gap.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 budget cycle and confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements create a near-term procurement window with a streamlined acquisition path. Addressing credential management now reduces security exposure, supports IT operational continuity, and aligns with the district's stated strategic initiatives.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school has identified WCAG accessibility gaps across its digital properties, creating ongoing exposure under ADA Title II obligations. Unresolved gaps risk complaints, legal liability, and inequitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
ADA/Title II compliance is non-discretionary, and the active 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a near-term decision window to fund remediation. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk, advances the school's stated strategic initiative, and supports equitable digital access for all community members.

Discuss this project →Centralized Device Management for 1:1 Learning Programs
IT Modernization · Student Technology
High Priority
About this project
The school's active 1:1 device and equipment loan program has created a distributed endpoint environment that lacks centralized management and consistent IT support. Gaps in user account oversight and device operations increase security exposure and strain limited IT staff capacity.
The opportunity
The upcoming 2026–2027 budget cycle presents a natural decision window to address endpoint management needs, and procurement through confirmed cooperative purchasing channels reduces administrative burden. Centralizing device operations now supports instructional continuity, reduces operational risk, and aligns with current fiscal planning timelines.
