Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district carries a high Emergency Preparedness Gap score with no publicly available EOP documentation and no evidence of recent drills or exercises. Michigan state law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates maintained Emergency Operations Plans for school districts, creating an active compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program offers a direct funding path, and a voter-approved $7.59M technology and security bond supports near-term investment ahead of a 2027 project horizon. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap while aligning with active budget and grant cycles.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks an enterprise-grade mass notification system, relying on basic website and mobile alerts with an unverified vendor status, creating a fragmented emergency communications gap. Michigan state law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates documented Emergency Operations Plans, and the absence of a unified EOC coordination platform elevates both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant offers a direct, near-term funding pathway for school safety technology and emergency notification modernization. Acting within the current grant window and fiscal cycle allows the district to close compliance gaps, unify its emergency communications ecosystem, and strengthen staff and student safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an active bus fleet—including newly received electric school buses and a proposed bus purchase—without documented dash cameras or telematics in place. Recent bus driver staffing changes heighten liability exposure and safety risk for students and the district.
The opportunity
A voter-approved technology and security bond provides a viable funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current planning cycle. Incoming transportation leadership creates a timely opening to establish modern safety standards and reduce operational liability.

Cybersecurity & Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 device program lacks documented enterprise endpoint management, creating visibility and security gaps across student and staff devices. A CIPA cybersecurity compliance requirement adds regulatory urgency, and the newly onboarded Technology Director is actively auditing existing IT systems.
The opportunity
A voter-approved technology bond and increased state FY2026 school funding create immediate budget availability for endpoint security investment. Acting within the current evaluation window aligns with the Technology Director's onboarding priorities and supports CIPA compliance before the next audit cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing website and digital communications, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident and family access. Unresolved gaps elevate risk of complaints, litigation, and exclusion of community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
A new Technology Director is actively positioned to drive accessibility initiatives, creating a timely decision window aligned with the district's voter-approved technology bond and FY2026 state funding increases. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and leverages available capital before the bond project cycle closes.
