EOP Compliance & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented biennial reviews, and a formalized mass notification contract — despite recent EOP activations. Michigan's NIMS-linked EOP requirements create a pressing compliance mandate with direct implications for student and staff safety.
The opportunity
Bond-funded Phase II Safety & Communication Systems work is planned for 2026, and multiple FEMA grants with July 2026 deadlines offer a clear funding path with limited local match. Acting now aligns with the upcoming 2026–27 budget cycle and closes critical compliance and preparedness gaps.
IT and Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district is executing a bond-funded IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative amid a split technology ecosystem and an actively recruiting technology coordinator role. Without consolidated infrastructure oversight, the district faces elevated cybersecurity exposure and operational continuity risk across student and staff systems.
The opportunity
Bond proceeds are actively funding capital programs, and an upcoming FY 2026–27 budget cycle creates a near-term procurement window. Grant programs with partial cybersecurity alignment and a transitional leadership environment signal openness to modernization investments that strengthen security posture and long-term operational resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's website accessibility statement references WCAG 2.0 Level AA but has not been updated since 2017, signaling likely gaps between current standards and live site performance. Without remediation, the district faces growing regulatory exposure and risks excluding community members with disabilities from essential digital services.
The opportunity
Regulatory scrutiny of public-sector web accessibility is increasing, making near-term remediation a prudent step ahead of potential audit or complaint activity. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and action now aligns with the upcoming budget planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's Google Workspace environment and split technology ecosystem create credential security gaps that elevate risk of unauthorized access to student and staff data. An active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative signals recognized need, but identity and access management controls remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Bond funding designated for IT and cybersecurity modernization provides an active budget pathway, and an incoming technology coordinator role signals near-term decision-making capacity. Advancing identity management now aligns with the current capital cycle and reduces credential-based breach risk before the role is filled.
