Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an overdue EOP review, undocumented exercises, and mass-notification failures exposed by a recent cybersecurity incident. Compliance mandates under MCL 380.1308b and NIMS create a regulatory imperative, elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
The appointment of a new Director of Safety & Security, active bond spending, and a proposed 2026–27 budget with potential new per-pupil revenue create a near-term funding window. HSGP and BRIC grants offer direct funding paths, making this an ideal moment to close compliance gaps and strengthen district-wide emergency readiness.
Mass Notification & Emergency Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A September 2025 cyber incident exposed critical gaps in the district's emergency communications infrastructure, including mass-notification failures that compromised safety system reliability for over 8,400 students and staff. With no dedicated mass-notification solution in place and an overdue EOP review, the district faces compounding compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b and NIMS requirements.
The opportunity
Active grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, provide viable funding paths for emergency communications modernization with limited local match requirements. The recent appointment of a new Director of Safety & Security, combined with positive budget signals and ongoing bond spending, creates a near-term window to close preparedness gaps, strengthen compliance, and protect students and staff before the next fiscal cycle.
Cybersecurity Modernization & Endpoint Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A September 2025 cybersecurity incident compromised critical safety systems, exposing gaps in the district's endpoint visibility and incident response posture. With no dedicated endpoint management solution in place and a fragmented vendor environment, the district faces elevated operational and security risk across its infrastructure.
The opportunity
Post-incident momentum and active cybersecurity modernization as a stated strategic priority create a clear window for action within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint management gaps now reduces recurrence risk, supports compliance readiness, and aligns with available capital and bond spending already in motion.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing digital portals have undergone an accessibility review, but compliance with federal and state accessibility standards remains an open area of operational risk. Gaps in accessible design can limit equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities, and may expose the district to legal or audit findings.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility compliance proactively aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and supports the district's obligation to equitable public service delivery. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the district can reduce procurement lead time and administrative burden when this initiative advances.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & GPS Services Expansion
Fleet Management · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively replacing fleet vehicles and has an existing GPS and telematics relationship, signaling a natural expansion or renewal cycle. No critical safety risks or compliance mandates were identified, making this an operational continuity and efficiency-focused initiative.
The opportunity
The active vehicle replacement cycle creates a practical window to align telematics upgrades with new acquisitions, avoiding future retrofit costs. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the district can streamline procurement within the current capital spending cycle.
