Strengthen Emergency Operations Plan & Public Safety Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly dated comprehensive EOP, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and has potential mass notification vulnerabilities. Michigan EOP requirements and NIMS compliance mandates create explicit regulatory pressure, elevating risk to student and staff safety.
The opportunity
The BRIC grant deadline in July 2026 and the DOJ COPS grant provide near-term, dedicated funding paths for hazard mitigation and preparedness initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal window closes critical compliance gaps and strengthens district-wide emergency response outcomes.

Digital Equity · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal liability exposure and limiting equitable access for students, families, and staff. Leadership has formally recognized the need through a stated strategic commitment to Website & Digital Services modernization, signaling readiness to act.
The opportunity
A recently approved ~$60M capital bond and a formally adopted 2026–27 school budget provide a clear funding backdrop for near-term procurement. Addressing WCAG 2.1 compliance now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns with the district's current strategic planning cycle.

Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks onboard video and telematics systems, creating unmonitored liability exposure and limiting visibility into driver behavior and incident response. This gap places the district behind peer institutions and leaves operational risk unaddressed across its student transportation fleet.
The opportunity
DOJ COPS grant funding identifies fleet telematics as an eligible match, offering a viable path to address this gap with reduced local budget impact. Acting within the current grant window aligns with the district's safety priorities and supports responsible stewardship of public funds.
DOJ COPS Grant
Discuss this project →IT Security & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Identity
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in password management and endpoint oversight as part of a formal IT and cybersecurity modernization commitment, with fragmented tooling creating redundancy and security exposure. Consolidating overlapping systems is a recognized operational priority ahead of upcoming contract expirations in mid-2026.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–27 budget and mid-2026 contract expirations create a natural procurement window, while DOJ COPS grant eligibility and cooperative purchasing options offer low-friction, cost-effective paths to action. Addressing these gaps now reduces security risk, streamlines operations, and aligns spending with the district's stated modernization goals.
