Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, a school-level mass notification system, and documented HSEEP-style exercises. These gaps create significant compliance risk under NIMS mandates and EOP review cycle requirements, leaving students and staff operationally vulnerable during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Homeland Security grant funding directly supports emergency management initiatives, offering a viable path forward with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window and ahead of the August 2026 millage election positions the district to close compliance gaps and strengthen school safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a binding mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to constituent access if gaps remain unaddressed. Non-compliance risks civil liability and inequitable access to public-facing digital services for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
The 2025 WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline creates immediate urgency for remediation. Acting now reduces legal risk, supports equitable digital access, and aligns with fiscal-year planning; cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan public entities may streamline procurement and reduce local cost burden.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified cybersecurity modernization as an active strategic initiative and compliance requirement, yet a small IT staff profile suggests limited capacity to manage security and endpoint operations effectively. Without targeted intervention, the district faces elevated risk of data exposure, compliance gaps, and operational disruption affecting students and staff.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MiDEAL offer streamlined, cost-effective procurement pathways well-suited to the district's constrained budget, and JAG grant alignment may offset implementation costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district ahead of the August 2026 millage election, reducing financial uncertainty and strengthening long-term operational resilience.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates without a telematics solution, limiting visibility into driver behavior and fleet performance amid ongoing driver-staffing challenges. While no high-urgency incidents have been recorded, the absence of monitoring tools represents a latent operational and safety risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
Grant funding pathways and cooperative procurement options available to Michigan districts can reduce acquisition costs and accelerate deployment. Addressing this gap during the current budget planning cycle positions the district ahead of the August 2026 millage election and strengthens long-term transportation accountability.
