Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus rollover with staff injuries and significant media attention has exposed critical gaps in fleet visibility, including the absence of dash cameras and telematics. Transportation operations are designated a Top Strategic Priority, heightening the urgency to address safety, liability, and operational oversight risks.
The opportunity
A modest Transportation budget increase and executive-level prioritization create a near-term funding and decision-making window. Cooperative purchasing pathways can accelerate procurement, enabling the district to reduce liability exposure and strengthen student and staff safety outcomes within the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted district-level EOP and has no documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating significant compliance and safety gaps under Michigan Publication 201 mandates. An outdated mass notification platform in use since 2019 further compounds emergency preparedness deficiencies, elevating risk to students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
Michigan Publication 201 compliance mandates create defined regulatory urgency, while federal grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements. A leadership transition and an approved FY2026–2027 budget cycle present a timely window to close preparedness gaps, strengthen community safety, and reduce institutional liability.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has active WCAG/ADA remediation efforts underway, signaling unresolved compliance gaps across its public-facing digital presence. These gaps create legal exposure and risk excluding community members with disabilities from essential district information and services.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 General Fund budget provides a timely funding window to formalize and complete accessibility remediation. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal liability, advances equity in public communications, and aligns with the current budget cycle.
Strengthen K-12 Endpoint Security and Device Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1-to-1 device program creates a significant endpoint management challenge with no confirmed centralized solution in place. Broad K-12 cybersecurity mandates apply, and gaps in credential and device management elevate risk to student data, staff systems, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program provides a viable funding path for endpoint and credential management initiatives, aligning with the current budget cycle following recent general fund appropriations. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens district-wide data protection at scale.
