Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly documented or reviewed Emergency Operations Plan, creating direct compliance risk under Michigan state law. Recent severe weather events have heightened hazard exposure for students and staff, making formalized EOP development and maintenance an urgent operational and legal priority.
The opportunity
FY2026 grant programs targeting school safety and emergency preparedness offer viable funding pathways with strong alignment to this project's scope. Acting within the current budget cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces institutional liability, and strengthens district-wide emergency readiness.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has no documented mass-notification system, limiting its ability to communicate rapidly during emergencies. Recent severe weather events and unmet Michigan EOP compliance mandates elevate operational and safety risk for students, staff, and the broader community.
The opportunity
FY2026 COPS SVPP and HSGP grant cycles explicitly fund school safety technology and notification systems, aligning procurement timing with available resources. Acting within the current budget and grant window reduces compliance exposure and strengthens emergency readiness for the district.
FY2026 COPS SVPP
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has an identified gap in meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with remediation actively underway. Failure to achieve full ADA compliance creates legal exposure and restricts equitable access for students, parents, and community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
With remediation already in progress, near-term procurement is likely and aligns with the current annual budget cycle and favorable state aid funding trends. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and accelerate compliance outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has no documented dashcam or telematics program on its bus fleet, creating gaps in driver behavior monitoring and incident documentation. A regional bus-driver shortage compounds operational risk and liability exposure for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
The absence of an incumbent solution and availability of cooperative purchasing vehicles allow the district to move quickly without a lengthy procurement cycle. Acting within the current budget window reduces liability risk and supports safer, more accountable student transportation outcomes.

Discuss this project →Strengthen District Endpoint Protection and Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented enterprise cybersecurity coverage, leaving endpoint protection and identity management capabilities unaddressed. With a student device program in place, the absence of centralized security tooling creates measurable risk to data integrity, student privacy, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) offers a viable funding path for cybersecurity initiatives, and a favorable state aid environment supports new technology investments within the current budget cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens the district's security posture ahead of the next fiscal year.
