Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Modernization
Emergency Management · K-12 Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a reliable mass notification system, creating direct exposure under Michigan law MCL 380.1308b, which mandates regular EOP reviews. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned grant programs with near-term deadlines provide a clear, low-local-match funding path for closing these preparedness gaps. An incoming leadership transition in spring 2026 creates a timely window to advance compliance, strengthen community safety, and align with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Modernization for School Safety
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system is generic and inadequate for school emergency communications, while fragmented platforms create gaps in coordinated response. Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates regular EOP reviews, and the absence of a named Emergency Management Coordinator elevates both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Federal grants (COPS SVPP, HSGP, BRIC) offer a direct funding path for emergency communications modernization, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement. Incoming leadership creates a timely opening to reprioritize communications infrastructure, reduce compliance exposure, and strengthen safety outcomes for students and staff.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Program
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school has committed to WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance but operates across multiple disconnected SaaS platforms and a fragmented CMS environment, creating inconsistent accessible digital delivery. These gaps expose the institution to compliance risk and limit equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
A new leadership transition creates a timely opening to prioritize and formalize this compliance initiative, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure and advances equitable digital access across all web properties.

Discuss this project →Student Transportation Fleet Safety Modernization
Student Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district operates student transportation without visible in-vehicle safety monitoring technology, creating an unaddressed gap in fleet oversight and student protection. While no specific compliance mandate currently applies, the absence of preventive safeguards elevates operational risk and limits accountability across the transportation program.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as COPS TEP and HSGP may offer eligible funding pathways, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can reduce procurement complexity and timeline. Advancing this investment proactively positions the district ahead of potential mandates and supports a culture of student safety before an incident drives urgency.

Discuss this project →Centralize Endpoint and Identity Management Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Identity
High Priority
About this project
The school operates multiple disconnected SaaS platforms with no centralized endpoint oversight or identity and password management, creating measurable security gaps and operational inefficiency. These fragmented systems elevate risk exposure for student and staff data across HR, learning, and administrative functions.
The opportunity
A leadership transition creates a near-term window to reprioritize IT consolidation, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement within budget constraints. Addressing these gaps now reduces institutional risk and positions the school for alignment with Michigan's competitive infrastructure grant funding.
