Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student & Staff Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, depends on a single mass-notification channel, and has experienced school closures from air quality events. Michigan's biennial EOP review mandate creates a direct compliance deadline, elevating legal and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Incoming district leadership in July 2025 signals strong readiness for change, while the BRIC grant offers a school-focused funding path for hazard mitigation and emergency communications. Acting within the current grant window and fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens student and staff safety outcomes.

Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in WCAG 2.0 compliance across public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates. Community members with disabilities face barriers to equitable access, increasing risk of complaints or litigation.
The opportunity
Active compliance exploration signals a near-term procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Remediating accessibility gaps reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and may qualify for state or federal funding supporting inclusive technology initiatives.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management Modernization for Bond-Funded Rollout
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively deploying bond-funded classroom technology—including interactive displays, Chromebooks, and tablets—without a formalized endpoint management solution in place. A newly onboarded IT Director and Technology Coordinator are positioned to address this gap, but the absence of centralized device oversight creates cybersecurity and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
Bond funding and an active technology rollout create an immediate procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle, and cooperative purchasing options may reduce procurement timelines. Formalizing endpoint management now protects the district's technology investment, supports cybersecurity compliance, and ensures devices are operationally ready for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Modernizing School Bus Safety Through Fleet Telematics
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district's school bus operations currently lack telematics and dash cameras, leaving driver behavior and incident response without objective data. This gap creates measurable liability exposure and limits the district's ability to ensure student safety and respond effectively to on-road incidents.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements available to the district can streamline acquisition and reduce procurement timelines, while fuel-efficiency gains from fleet instrumentation support long-term cost stewardship. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close a documented safety gap before liability risk escalates.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Modernization for District IT Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An active technology expansion—including classroom device rollouts and infrastructure upgrades—has broadened the district's attack surface without a formal cybersecurity framework in place. The absence of identified security tooling creates measurable operational and data protection risk for students, staff, and district systems.
The opportunity
Bond-funded technology initiatives and incoming IT leadership create a near-term window to establish structured cybersecurity controls, with federal and state funding sources—including Learning Loss Grant allocations anticipated in early 2026—potentially available to offset costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to reduce risk before expanded infrastructure is fully deployed.
