Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Alert Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, operates fragmented notification systems, and faces jurisdictional coordination gaps. MCL 380.1308b mandates biennial EOP reviews, and April 2026 flooding has elevated compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines are approaching and explicitly cover emergency communications and alert systems, offering a strong funding pathway with limited local match. A new Superintendent and recent flood events create a timely window to advance compliance, close preparedness gaps, and protect the community.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district records 3–5 illegal stop-arm violations per week and relies on video for enforcement, yet lacks a formal fleet management solution to systematically address driver behavior and safety gaps. A board-level initiative for bus safety cameras is underway, signaling an active need for structured deployment and policy-backed enforcement.
The opportunity
With a confirmed strategic initiative and an active budget cycle, the district is positioned to act within the current fiscal window. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan districts can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden, accelerating implementation and strengthening student safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a formal password management program and has no identified endpoint management solution, leaving student and staff data vulnerable. A board-level data breach concern tied to a student information system underscores the urgency of closing these gaps before an incident occurs.
The opportunity
A confirmed budget appropriation for IT and cybersecurity modernization, combined with FEMA HSGP grant eligibility for cybersecurity enhancements, creates a near-term funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance and operational risk while strengthening data stewardship for students and staff.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing website does not meet WCAG 2.1 standards, creating legal exposure under the ADA and limiting equitable access for students, families, and community members. Without a defined remediation path, the district remains at risk of complaints, enforcement action, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
WCAG/ADA compliance is an ongoing regulatory obligation, and addressing it now aligns with the district's annual budget cycle and cooperative procurement options that can simplify and accelerate contracting. Remediating accessibility gaps protects public access, reduces legal risk, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of community trust.
