Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
Following a fatal school bus crash in December 2025 and significant weather damage to fleet assets in March 2026, the district faces critical safety gaps with no telematics system in place. Without data-driven oversight, the district lacks driver behavior monitoring, evidentiary records, and asset management capabilities essential for student safety and operational accountability.
The opportunity
The district's annual budget cycle runs March–June, making now the critical window for procurement action, and a state-allocated $125M School Transportation Fund presents a strong funding pathway. Addressing this gap now directly supports the district's Electric School Bus strategic initiative and reduces liability exposure following recent incidents.

Discuss this project →EOP Compliance Readiness & Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces active compliance obligations under Michigan statute MCL 380.1308b and MSP Publication 201/201a, with no publicly posted EOP and an unknown review cadence. A recent severe weather closure and a newly revised EOP policy signal an incomplete compliance posture and elevated operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP, JAG) and a state Disaster & Emergency Contingency Fund create a near-term funding window aligned with this work. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close compliance gaps, strengthen preparedness, and reduce liability before the next severe weather season.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification platform is mid-transition, creating a critical gap in reliable, integrated emergency communications at a time when EOP compliance mandates (MCL 380.1308b) and identified preparedness gaps elevate operational and safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
Active grant windows, including HSGP and JAG funding eligible for emergency management investments, align with the district's current platform re-evaluation and spring budget cycle, making this an immediate opportunity to close compliance gaps and strengthen community-wide emergency response.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Equity · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing digital resources do not fully meet WCAG/ADA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and community members. Unresolved gaps leave the district vulnerable to complaints, audits, and potential civil rights findings.
The opportunity
The district's spring budget cycle presents a timely window to scope and fund accessibility remediation as part of broader digital modernization efforts. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, advances equitable service delivery, and may align with state or federal funding eligible for technology and equity initiatives.
Strengthen Credential Security Across District Systems
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks formal password management practices, leaving staff and administrative credentials vulnerable to compromise across its Google Workspace and Chromebook environment. This gap increases exposure to unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential noncompliance with cybersecurity expectations for public education entities.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity grant programs with deadlines in July 2026—including SLCGP-aligned funding—offer a viable path to address this gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle positions the district to close a known risk before the next fiscal year.
