Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and relies on multiple disconnected platforms for mass notification, creating compliance exposure under Michigan law (MCL §380.1308b). A recent school closure due to potential asbestos contamination and a rejected safety bond underscore the urgency of addressing these gaps.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a direct funding pathway for emergency communications and infrastructure with limited local match required. An incoming Superintendent in July 2025 and active budget planning create a timely window to advance safety compliance and consolidate notification infrastructure.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has issued a formal Website Accessibility Statement committing to WCAG 2.0–2.1 A/AA compliance by June 25, 2026, with the current web platform requiring remediation or replacement. Failure to meet this mandate elevates legal, reputational, and equity risks for students, families, and staff who rely on accessible digital communications.
The opportunity
The June 2026 WCAG deadline creates a defined, time-bound window to act within the current fiscal cycle. Active Capital Improvement funding and recent budget amendments signal available resources, and cooperative procurement channels may further streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district recently experienced a school bus accident with students on board, and no dash cameras or fleet telematics systems are publicly documented. This gap exposes the district to significant safety, liability, and operational risk across its transportation fleet.
The opportunity
The recent incident creates immediate urgency, and the district's Capital Improvement Plan — supported in part by federal funding — may offer a viable pathway for safety-related technology investment. Acting within the current budget cycle strengthens student safety outcomes and reduces liability exposure.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has experienced recent safety incidents, creating critical gaps in coordinated crisis response. Michigan statute (MCL §380.1308b) mandates EOP review, and the absence of integrated mass notification and SRP/SRM protocols elevates both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 provide a near-term funding pathway for emergency communications infrastructure with potential to offset local costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with active budget planning and supports the incoming Superintendent's safety priorities.
