Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Lifecycle Management
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates biennial EOP review for schools, yet no current plan, drill documentation, or mass notification system is in evidence — placing 252 enrolled students at measurable safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing on July 15, 2026, is an immediate window to secure funding, and active 2026 grant cycles specifically support school safety and emergency notification initiatives, reducing local cost burden while closing a non-discretionary compliance gap.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
No mass notification platform is in place, leaving staff, students, and families without a reliable alert mechanism during emergencies. Combined with the absence of a publicly posted EOP, this gap creates significant compliance exposure under Michigan's biennial EOP review mandate (MCL 380.1308b).
The opportunity
Grant funding through school safety programs explicitly covers emergency notification technology, offering a viable path with limited local match required. With a budget hearing scheduled for July 15, 2026, the current window is critical for aligning procurement decisions with available funding and closing a documented safety gap.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school's WordPress-based web presence has identified gaps in meeting WCAG and ADA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for students, families, and staff. Addressing these mandates is a compliance requirement, not an option.
The opportunity
With FY 2026–2027 budget decisions approaching, including a public hearing on July 15, 2026, now is the critical window to allocate funding for accessibility remediation. Acting proactively reduces legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all community members.

IT Modernization · K-12 Education
High Priority
About this project
This smaller K–12 institution is actively evaluating IT service desk and remote support capabilities to manage devices efficiently with a lean internal team. Without a streamlined endpoint management solution, IT overhead and service delivery gaps pose ongoing operational risk to staff and students.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget hearing on July 15, 2026 represents a near-term funding decision point, making this an ideal moment to advance procurement. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce administrative burden and accelerate a cost-effective path to improved IT service delivery.
