Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county infrastructure for mass notification, creating direct exposure under Michigan MCL 380.1308b, which mandates regular EOP reviews. The absence of after-action documentation and a district-controlled notification system elevates both compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A $37.9M bond proposal—including capital technology and secure entrances—alongside the Homeland Security Grant Program creates a well-defined funding path within the next 90 days. Addressing these gaps now aligns with the current budget cycle, reduces compliance liability, and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district recently expanded its bus fleet and is planning a new transportation center, yet lacks in-cab video and driver-behavior telematics, creating an unaddressed liability and safety gap. Without these capabilities, the district has limited visibility into driver performance and incident documentation, increasing risk to students and operational exposure.
The opportunity
The active bond proposal and new bus acquisition create a defined procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. COPS TEP grant funding and cooperative purchasing agreements offer cost-effective, streamlined pathways to close the safety gap and strengthen student transportation accountability now.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing web portals have identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating ADA-related legal exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for students, families, and community members. Unresolved accessibility deficiencies carry increasing risk of complaint, audit findings, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–27 budget and an active bond proposal open a near-term procurement window aligned with capital technology investments. Addressing WCAG 2.1 obligations now reduces legal liability, improves public service delivery, and positions the district to leverage available funding before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Identity Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in cybersecurity posture and password security management, creating operational and data-protection risk across staff and student systems. An existing Microsoft 365 environment offers a foundation for integrating identity and credential management as part of a broader IT modernization initiative.
The opportunity
A $37.9M bond proposal inclusive of capital technology and the Homeland Security Grant Program provide viable funding pathways for cybersecurity investments in the current procurement window. New leadership roles in systems engineering signal readiness to evaluate and advance modernization priorities aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Secure Entrance & Physical Access Control Upgrades
Campus Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
The district's approved bond proposal explicitly earmarks capital funds for secure entrance improvements across facilities, signaling a near-term, funded initiative. Without modernized physical access controls, district facilities face elevated safety and liability risks for students, staff, and visitors.
The opportunity
Bond funding voted on August 4, 2026 creates an immediate procurement window for secure entrance improvements, with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to streamline the process. Acting within this cycle ensures capital dollars are deployed efficiently and campus safety objectives are met on schedule.
