Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and EOP Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, documented after-action reports, and integrated mass notification between district and county systems. Michigan guidance mandates periodic EOP review and exercise tracking, creating measurable compliance and operational continuity risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A voter-approved sinking fund designated for school security improvements, combined with aligned federal grant opportunities, provides a clear funding path before the June 30 fiscal year-end. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens coordinated emergency response across the district and county.
FEMA BRIC
Discuss this project →Strengthen Cybersecurity Controls and Identity Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified cybersecurity controls as a compliance mandate and urgency driver, with a baseline security posture in place but gaps remaining in identity management and endpoint monitoring. The 2025 arrival of a new Technology Director signals readiness to evaluate and expand security capabilities to better protect staff, students, and district data.
The opportunity
A voter-approved sinking fund explicitly designates resources for technology acquisition and security upgrades, providing a direct and immediate funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with budget availability, cooperative purchasing options, and grant programs that support K–12 cybersecurity initiatives.
Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district carries an explicit legal obligation to meet WCAG 2.0–2.1 A/AA standards under Section 504, yet accessibility gaps remain unresolved despite a plan being in place. Continued non-compliance exposes the district to civil rights liability and creates barriers for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
The June 30 fiscal year-end creates a defined funding window, with an existing annual IT budget available to stage remediation by severity of compliance risk. Addressing gaps now reduces legal exposure, advances equitable access, and aligns with current budget cycle planning.

Discuss this project →Scalable Endpoint & Device Management for 1:1 Initiative
IT Modernization · Device Management
High Priority
About this project
A growing 1:1 Chromebook initiative is expanding the district's device footprint faster than a small IT team can manage manually. Without scalable endpoint oversight, device security, compliance, and operational continuity are at increasing risk across 664 students and staff.
The opportunity
A voter-approved sinking fund explicitly designated for technology acquisition provides a clear, near-term funding path aligned with the current fiscal cycle. A newly onboarded Technology Director creates a timely entry point for modernizing device management before the initiative scales further.

Discuss this project →Modernizing Fleet Visibility and Transportation Safety
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks deployed dash cameras or telematics, creating a gap in real-time fleet visibility and driver safety monitoring as it expands into electric bus operations. Without these tools, the district has limited ability to proactively manage risk, verify routing compliance, or document incidents involving student transportation.
The opportunity
A voter-approved sinking fund explicitly designating resources for transportation provides a direct and available funding path for this initiative within the current budget cycle. Acting now aligns with the incoming Transportation Director's onboarding and the district's active fleet expansion, enabling safety infrastructure to scale alongside new vehicles.
