All-Hazards Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a comprehensive all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan and has no structured exercise program, leaving students and staff exposed to significant safety and legal risk. Compliance mandates tied to NIMS implementation and Michigan Publication 201 create regulatory pressure to close these gaps without delay.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned grant programs—including SVPP, HSGP, and Michigan School Safety Funding—are available now, and upcoming millage renewals provide additional budget stability. Acting within the current funding cycle addresses the highest-priority preparedness gap while meeting compliance requirements and strengthening district-wide safety outcomes.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on fragmented mass notification sign-ups rather than a unified alerting platform, creating gaps in emergency communication coverage. Compliance mandates tied to NIMS implementation and Michigan Publication 201 for Emergency Operations Plans elevate the urgency to standardize and strengthen alerting capabilities district-wide.
The opportunity
An active mass notification and school alerting initiative, combined with available grant funding through programs aligned to emergency preparedness and school safety, positions this as a high-priority near-term project. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement, and upcoming millage cycles support budget alignment for a unified, compliant alerting solution.
Enterprise Password & Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks an enterprise password vault, leaving credentials and sensitive systems exposed to unauthorized access — a risk amplified by an ongoing IT leadership transition. Without centralized credential management, the district faces elevated cybersecurity exposure affecting staff, students, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
An IT leadership change creates a timely opening to establish foundational identity security practices, and HSGP funding offers a viable pathway to offset implementation costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to reduce breach risk and align with emerging state cybersecurity expectations for public education.
Modernizing Endpoint Management for District IT Operations
IT Modernization · EdTech Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district's technology operations lack centralized endpoint management, creating visibility and support gaps across a growing device fleet funded by a dedicated sinking fund millage. A recent IT leadership transition has surfaced the need to reassess operational tooling and establish scalable, sustainable management practices.
The opportunity
The sinking fund millage renewal provides a near-term, designated budget source for device and endpoint investments, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now allows incoming IT leadership to set a strong operational foundation while procurement timelines and funding are favorable.
