Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has no public evidence of an active or reviewed Emergency Operations Plan despite biennial review requirements under MCL 380.1308b, and relies on county-level mass notification rather than a dedicated district system. Recent local flooding and dam concerns underscore real operational risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
Near-term HSGP and EMPG grant deadlines in July 2026 create an immediate, low-local-match funding window for preparedness initiatives, and the recently adopted FY27 budget opens an early-cycle procurement opportunity. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap and strengthens district-level emergency response before the next school year.
District-Level Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently depends on county-managed notifications rather than a dedicated district-level system, creating a split ecosystem that limits direct control over emergency communications. This gap exposes students, staff, and families to slower or inconsistent messaging during incidents, and raises compliance risk under state EOP mandates (MCL 380.1308b).
The opportunity
Grant funding through emergency preparedness programs—with deadlines approaching in the near term—offers a clear path to address this gap with limited local match required. The district's early-FY procurement window and cooperative purchasing eligibility further reduce barriers, making this an actionable, high-priority initiative aligned with both safety mandates and budget timing.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district asserts WCAG 2.0 Level AA / ADA compliance but lacks independently verified evidence, creating ongoing legal exposure. An active accessibility compliance program signals acknowledged gaps, and unresolved deficiencies risk litigation, exclusion of community members, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
A targeted technology budget increase in the amended 2025–26 budget provides near-term capacity to close compliance gaps before legal risk escalates. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the district's active strategic initiative and supports equitable digital access for all community members.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's 1:1 Chromebook program creates endpoint and credential security exposure in a small, likely under-resourced IT environment. Without centralized endpoint management, the district faces elevated vulnerability risk across student and staff devices with limited capacity to monitor or respond.
The opportunity
The SLCGP grant program offers a near-term funding path for cybersecurity investment, with deadlines in July 2026 aligning with the district's early FY27 procurement window. A recent technology budget increase signals available capacity to act, making this an opportune moment to reduce risk and strengthen operational resilience.
