Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating critical gaps under Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b), which mandates biennial EOP reviews and notification requirements. These deficiencies elevate compliance and operational risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Near-term grant deadlines in July and August 2026—including school safety and emergency management funding eligible for mass notification and communications needs—align with a board budget meeting on July 15, 2026, creating a strong window to act. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces liability, strengthens community safety, and positions the district to secure available funding before the cycle closes.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented SaaS ecosystem with a mass notification platform not verified as aligned to Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) requirements under MCL 380.1308b, which mandates biennial EOP reviews and notification protocols. This gap elevates compliance and operational risk, leaving students, staff, and families without a confirmed, EOP-integrated emergency communications solution.
The opportunity
The COPS School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) explicitly funds mass notification and communications equipment, offering a near-term, low-local-match path to address this gap before July/August 2026 grant deadlines. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns procurement with compliance mandates, strengthens emergency readiness, and positions the district ahead of upcoming budget deliberations.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates its student transportation fleet without any telematics capability, leaving route efficiency, driver behavior, and vehicle health unmonitored. While no fleet-related incidents have been recorded, the absence of visibility represents an unaddressed operational and liability gap as the district matures its technology posture.
The opportunity
Upcoming budget discussions and active grant management cycles present a natural planning window to evaluate fleet visibility solutions before operational gaps become safety or liability concerns. Addressing this proactively supports long-term stewardship of public assets and aligns with the district's broader technology modernization trajectory.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented SaaS environment with disconnected tools and inconsistent credential management, creating security vulnerabilities and administrative burden. Without centralized identity controls, staff and student data remain exposed to unauthorized access and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Upcoming budget discussions in April and July 2026 create near-term windows to act, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can reduce procurement friction and cost. Consolidating identity management now strengthens security posture, reduces administrative overhead, and aligns with responsible stewardship of public funds.
