Emergency Operations Plan & Exercise Compliance
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
This K-12 institution lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, has no evidence of After Action Reviews, and has overdue EOP review status — creating direct compliance exposure under HSEEP mandates. Fragmented mass-notification systems and absent exercise documentation elevate operational and safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant opportunities with 2026 deadlines — including HSGP, EMPG, BRIC, and COPS TEP — provide viable funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives, and the recently approved FY 2025-2026 budget creates an immediate purchasing window. Acting now closes compliance gaps, strengthens school safety posture, and positions the district to leverage available funding before deadlines pass.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies on a fragmented alert ecosystem using website RSS feeds and social media, with no unified notification platform. This creates mass-notification governance gaps and reduces the reliability and reach of emergency communications to students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Multiple grant opportunities with 2026 deadlines support eligible emergency notification technology, and a recent per-pupil funding increase provides additional unrestricted budget flexibility. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses overdue compliance requirements and strengthens community-wide emergency response readiness.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
This school operates bus routes with no documented dash camera or telematics infrastructure, limiting incident documentation and driver behavior monitoring. The gap creates measurable risk to student safety outcomes and leaves the district without data to support accountability or continuous improvement.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in 2026 include eligible technology for fleet safety and management, and cooperative purchasing pathways can simplify procurement for a district of this size. Acting within the current budget cycle aligns with recent per-pupil funding increases and positions the district to close a critical safety gap before the next school year.
COPS TEP

IT Modernization · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
A bond- and grant-funded consolidation project has identified security-system upgrades and advanced instructional technology integration as top strategic priorities, creating an immediate need for endpoint management and identity security capabilities. Without a unified IT management approach, schools face elevated cybersecurity risk and operational gaps during a period of significant infrastructure change.
The opportunity
Bond and grant funding is already secured, reducing budget risk and enabling near-term action during active planning and bidding phases. A Michigan K-12 per-pupil funding increase provides additional unrestricted dollars, and cooperative procurement pathways are available to streamline acquisition within the current fiscal cycle.

Physical Security · K–12 Safety
High Priority
About this project
The NCA Consolidation Project includes a planned refresh and expansion of physical and digital security infrastructure across campus. Bond and grant funding is already secured, and planning activity is expected ahead of construction, creating a near-term procurement window.
The opportunity
Funding is in place and the planning and bidding phase is approaching, aligning with the current fiscal cycle for procurement action. Advancing security upgrades now supports student and staff safety outcomes, leverages existing bond and grant resources, and reduces implementation risk before construction begins.
