Emergency Operations Plan Maintenance and Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an annual EOP review mandate with documented gaps in notification system lifecycle management, incomplete safety projects, and no public record of formal exercises. Recent school closures due to threats underscore the operational and compliance risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
FEMA EMPG and COPS SVPP grant programs offer viable funding paths for emergency management and school safety infrastructure, aligning with the district's active EOP strategic priority. Engaging within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, strengthens community safety outcomes, and leverages demonstrated budget readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current emergency notification system has an unclear contract status and unverified reliability, creating gaps in alerting coverage during critical incidents. With an annual EOP review mandate active and recent school closures due to threats, the risk to student and staff safety is immediate and documented.
The opportunity
Grant funding through FEMA's EMPG and school safety programs provides viable, low-local-match pathways to address this gap now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with active strategic priorities, supports EOP compliance, and ensures reliable alerting before the next emergency event.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a clear mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating measurable compliance risk if document and web content accessibility gaps remain unaddressed. With website hosting already under renewal, document accessibility represents the most immediate and open remediation need for staff, students, and community members.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 compliance timeline creates a defined window for action, and the district's $1.8M+ annual IT spend and recently renewed operating millage confirm budget stability to move forward. Addressing document accessibility now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable public access, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's compliance status for cybersecurity password mandates is unconfirmed, signaling a potential gap in credential security policy and enterprise tooling. Without a verified solution in place, student, staff, and system data remain exposed to preventable credential-based threats.
The opportunity
A recently renewed operating millage and an annual IT spend exceeding $1.8M indicate available capacity to address this gap within the current budget cycle. Formalizing credential management now reduces breach risk, supports audit readiness, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of public funds.
School Bus Tracking & Parent Visibility Modernization
Student Transportation · Fleet Telematics
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified school bus tracking and parent-facing visibility as a top strategic priority, despite existing GPS and camera infrastructure. Consolidating or enhancing these capabilities addresses operational gaps in real-time communication with families and positions the district ahead of a transportation contract expiration in June 2027.
The opportunity
The June 2027 transportation contract expiration creates a defined procurement window to plan and act within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline procurement, reduce administrative burden, and ensure responsible stewardship of public funds.
