Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school has no publicly referenced Emergency Operations Plan, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and no mass notification system — gaps that violate Michigan-mandated NIMS and EOP requirements. An emergency preparedness score of 4 out of 5 signals significant deficiencies that create serious legal and operational risk in any critical incident.
The opportunity
Near-term grant deadlines in July and August 2026 directly fund emergency management initiatives, and an incoming CEO alongside a July 1 fiscal year start create a timely window for prioritizing this investment. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens student and staff safety, and aligns with available state and federal funding pathways.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school is actively pursuing WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance to meet ADA and Section 508 obligations, representing a continuous and confirmed operational priority. Without full remediation, the district risks civil complaints, inequitable access for students and families, and ongoing legal exposure.
The opportunity
An incoming executive leader and July 1 fiscal year reset create a favorable window to advance this initiative with organizational momentum. State and regional funding increases, including per-pupil allocations, expand discretionary capacity, and SVPP grant alignment offers a secondary funding pathway for accessibility-related public communications.
Credential Management & Cybersecurity Risk Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district operates email infrastructure without a confirmed enterprise credential or password management solution, creating measurable cybersecurity exposure across staff and student accounts. This unaddressed gap elevates risk of unauthorized access, data breach, and non-compliance with evolving state and federal cybersecurity expectations.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding with an August 2026 deadline is directly applicable to cybersecurity investments, offering a near-term pathway to address this gap with limited local budget impact. A new executive transition and upcoming fiscal year start create a favorable window for prioritizing and advancing a credential management initiative.
Student Transportation Safety Monitoring Program
Student Safety · Fleet & Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The district operates school buses without a documented video, telematics, or formal transportation safety program, creating latent liability for student welfare. Without proactive risk controls in place, the district remains exposed to incidents, insurance risk, and potential compliance scrutiny.
The opportunity
A recent $515K one-time state allocation and a 2.5% per-pupil funding increase have improved budget capacity, creating a favorable window for proactive safety investment. An incoming leadership transition and upcoming fiscal year alignment offer a timely opportunity to establish foundational transportation safety infrastructure.
