Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has limited documented exercises, and faces coordination gaps between municipal and school mass notification systems. A real-world soft lockdown incident underscores active risk, and a standing mandate for periodic EOP review remains unmet.
The opportunity
The district's June 2026 budget cycle creates a defined window to act on compliance and safety gaps before the next fiscal year. Addressing preparedness now reduces operational and liability risk while aligning with mandated EOP review requirements and available cooperative procurement pathways.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The district's current password management environment presents credential security gaps at a time when cyber threats targeting K–12 institutions are escalating. With an active cybersecurity specialist search underway, the district has signaled a focused effort to strengthen identity security before vulnerabilities are exploited.
The opportunity
The district's June 2026 budget cycle and active hiring create a defined window to evaluate and modernize credential management. Acting now supports compliance posture, reduces breach risk, and aligns procurement with cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan districts.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active effort to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across its web presence, with non-compliance creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident and family access. Gaps in accessible digital content place the district at risk of complaints, litigation, and exclusion of users with disabilities.
The opportunity
Digital Equity funding represents a viable pathway to offset compliance costs, and the June 2026 budget cycle creates a defined decision window. Acting now allows the district to align procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles, reducing administrative burden while advancing an already in-progress compliance initiative.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's current IT management environment shows signs of aging tooling and a cloud-forward posture, creating gaps in endpoint visibility and remote monitoring. With active cybersecurity hiring underway, the absence of a unified, modern management platform elevates operational and security risk across staff and student systems.
The opportunity
An active hiring cycle and upcoming June 2026 budget adoption create a defined window to evaluate and modernize endpoint management before the next fiscal year. Cooperative procurement vehicles such as MiDEAL and Sourcewell simplify acquisition and support responsible stewardship of public technology funds.

Discuss this project →Electric Fleet Modernization & Transportation Monitoring
Fleet Management · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
Trenton Public Schools has launched an electric bus initiative as a high-priority strategic investment, introducing new operational monitoring and fleet management requirements. Without structured telematics and oversight tools, the district faces gaps in route efficiency, vehicle health visibility, and long-term asset stewardship.
The opportunity
With an active electric fleet deployment underway and a budget adoption cycle approaching in June 2026, the district has a defined window to establish monitoring infrastructure aligned with current operations. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate implementation without added administrative burden.
