Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Remediation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school's Emergency Operations Plan is 4.2 years old, well past Michigan's biennial review mandate, and HSEEP-style exercises are absent — creating documented compliance violations and measurable gaps in operational readiness that directly affect student and staff safety.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs with 2026 deadlines provide a viable funding path, and the June budget public hearing represents a near-term decision window. Acting now closes a compliance gap, strengthens preparedness, and positions the district to leverage available state and federal resources.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently lacks a documented mass-notification vendor, leaving staff and community communication unreliable during emergencies. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review, this gap creates measurable compliance and operational risk under Michigan's biennial EOP mandate.
The opportunity
The June budget cycle and FEMA grant deadlines in 2026 create a defined window to close this gap with available funding. Acting now addresses active compliance deficiencies, strengthens emergency communication, and protects students, staff, and the broader school community.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Ad-hoc password storage within the school's internal portal signals a lack of formal credential management, leaving sensitive systems and data exposed. An internal IT security policy exists but lacks the tooling needed for consistent enforcement, creating measurable compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grants explicitly cover cybersecurity technology, offering a viable funding path with 2026 deadlines creating near-term urgency. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle positions the district to close a documented security gap while maximizing available public funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Technology for School Transportation
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The school operates a 14-bus transportation program with no visible safety technology such as dash cameras or telematics, creating significant liability exposure in the event of an incident. Without preventative and evidentiary tools in place, the district faces elevated risk to student safety and potential high-severity claims.
The opportunity
The June budget cycle presents a near-term window to fund fleet safety improvements, with funded transportation operations already establishing budget precedent for this area. Proactive investment now reduces liability risk, supports student safety outcomes, and aligns with responsible stewardship of public funds ahead of the new fiscal year.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school carries ongoing WCAG/ADA compliance obligations for its digital properties, and while an existing accessibility tool is in place, residual gaps create continued legal and reputational exposure. Unresolved compliance deficiencies can result in complaints, litigation, or loss of federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
With a June budget hearing serving as a near-term funding decision point and cooperative purchasing agreements already in use, this is a practical cycle to close remaining accessibility gaps. Proactive remediation reduces legal risk and demonstrates equitable access to digital services for all students and community members.
