Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available or dated Emergency Operations Plan, documented mass-notification procedures, and evidence of required HSEEP-style exercises. A biennial EOP review mandate under MCL 380.1308b creates an active compliance obligation, elevating risk to students, staff, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including BRIC, HSGP, and EMPG offer viable funding paths for emergency management capabilities, and a recently approved bond provides additional local resources. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with the compliance cycle and strengthens district-wide safety outcomes before the next review period.
Unify and Modernize District Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented alert ecosystem with undocumented mass-notification capabilities, creating a measurable emergency preparedness gap. Without a unified, reliable system, the district faces elevated operational risk and compliance exposure under biennial EOP review mandates.
The opportunity
A recently approved bond earmarks funds for safety and technology upgrades, and federal grants such as EMPG and HSGP are aligned with emergency management capabilities. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the district to close compliance gaps, strengthen community-wide alerting, and maximize available funding.
Safe Entryways & Physical Security Technology Upgrades
Student Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
A voter-approved $64.135 million bond explicitly earmarks funds for safe entryways and technology upgrades across district facilities, signaling imminent capital investment. Without a modernized access control and physical security infrastructure, facilities face continued vulnerability and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
Bond approval has created a dedicated, time-sensitive funding source aligned with the district's capital plan, reducing reliance on general fund dollars. Acting within this procurement window ensures upgrades are delivered on schedule, strengthening student and staff safety across all facilities.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district is in an active fleet renewal cycle with no documented telematics or dash-cam solution in place, creating visibility and safety gaps across student transportation operations. Bond funding designated for a Transportation Garage and technology upgrades signals immediate readiness to address these deficiencies.
The opportunity
An approved bond measure provides a clear, dedicated funding path for transportation infrastructure and safety technology, aligning with the current fleet renewal cycle. Acting within this procurement window allows the district to close safety gaps, improve operational accountability, and maximize bond dollars before the cycle closes.
$64.135M Bond
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's 2024–2027 Technology Plan and Information Security policy lack a centralized cybersecurity stack, leaving endpoint and identity management capabilities fragmented. A recent Technology Director transition and bond-funded technology upgrades signal recognized gaps and elevate the urgency of addressing cybersecurity mandates.
The opportunity
Bond funding designated for technology upgrades and an upcoming fiscal planning cycle create a near-term window to close cybersecurity gaps and align with compliance mandates. Acting now positions the district to leverage available cooperative purchasing vehicles and reduce operational risk before the next budget cycle closes.
$64.135M Bond
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified ongoing gaps in ADA-aligned digital access across public-facing portals and its content management system. Unresolved accessibility deficiencies create regulatory exposure and limit equitable access to district information for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility compliance proactively reduces legal and audit risk while supporting the district's stated strategic initiative ahead of the current fiscal planning cycle. Remediation efforts may align with technology upgrade funding available through the district's recently approved bond and cooperative purchasing agreements.
