Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet & Transportation Safety · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented serious transportation safety incidents, including a school bus crash with hospitalizations and a child struck while boarding, with no telematics, dash cameras, or formal fleet safety program currently in place. This gap presents significant operational, liability, and student safety risks that require immediate attention.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved for FY2026–2027 fleet investments, including bus purchases and fleet replacement, creating an active and defined procurement window. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and ensure responsible stewardship of public funds.

Emergency Management · School Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no identified Emergency Management Coordinator, creating gaps against Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS mandates. Declared emergencies including flooding and severe weather underscore the operational urgency for structured, compliant preparedness protocols.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness provide viable funding paths for the upcoming fiscal cycle, reducing the local budget burden. Incoming leadership in 2026 and active compliance mandates create a timely window to establish an EOP, strengthen community safety, and reduce regulatory and operational risk.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's website and mobile app have documented gaps in WCAG 2.1 and ADA accessibility compliance, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities. Document accessibility deficiencies compound the risk, signaling a need for structured remediation before compliance timelines are breached.
The opportunity
Active contract expirations for related educational software within the next four months create a defined procurement window aligned with the current budget cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and positions the district to leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use.
Strengthening District Cybersecurity Through Password Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented enterprise password management solution and has no published cybersecurity password policy, representing a measurable security gap. This absence elevates risk to student data, staff systems, and district infrastructure amid an active IT and student technology modernization effort.
The opportunity
A recently approved budget and advancing state K-12 aid legislation create a near-term funding window to address this gap. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces breach exposure, supports compliance posture, and aligns with the district's broader technology modernization priorities.

Discuss this project →Modernizing K–12 Endpoint and Device Management
IT Modernization · Student Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district's strategic IT and cybersecurity modernization plan includes a 1:1 student device initiative, creating an immediate need for scalable, centralized endpoint management. Without a defined management framework, device security, visibility, and support consistency remain at risk across the student population.
The opportunity
A non-homestead millage renewal on the May 2026 ballot and advancing state K–12 aid legislation signal a near-term window for technology investment decisions. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to align procurement with budget availability and support long-term instructional continuity.
