Emergency Operations Plan & Mass-Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a consumer app and social media for crisis communications, leaving students and staff exposed. Recent back-to-back incidents—a bomb threat and a lockdown—have surfaced critical gaps, while Michigan Local EOP requirements and NIMS mandates create direct compliance obligations.
The opportunity
A newly approved operating millage and the COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant create a well-aligned, near-term funding window for emergency communications and preparedness infrastructure. Incoming district leadership and active compliance drivers make this an urgent moment to close safety gaps and meet state and federal mandates.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies on a consumer app and social media for emergency alerts, lacking an enterprise-grade mass-notification system — a gap exposed by recent lockdown and bomb threat incidents. Michigan Local EOP requirements and NIMS compliance mandates elevate the operational and regulatory risk of maintaining the status quo.
The opportunity
Recent safety incidents and an approved operating millage create a timely window to act. The COPS School Violence Prevention Program grant explicitly supports emergency communication technology for K-12 districts, reducing local funding burden. Addressing this now strengthens compliance posture, protects students and staff, and aligns with incoming leadership priorities.

Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in fleet visibility, including the absence of dash cameras, telematics, and driver monitoring tools, amid routine service interruptions and a recent fleet expansion. These gaps elevate operational risk and limit the district's ability to ensure student transportation safety.
The opportunity
New transportation leadership and a recently approved operating millage create a timely opening to advance fleet safety technology through cooperative purchasing, reducing procurement complexity. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the district to close safety gaps and improve operational accountability across its expanded fleet.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified ADA/WCAG compliance gaps across its public-facing websites, creating legal exposure and limiting access for families and residents. These mandates are a direct driver for remediation, and unresolved gaps carry ongoing risk of complaint or enforcement action.
The opportunity
WCAG compliance deadlines establish a clear external timeline for action, and a recently approved operating millage provides flexible local revenue to fund near-term remediation. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal exposure and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.
