EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · K-12 Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces documented emergency preparedness gaps — including no publicly available EOP, absent formal exercises, and an unconfirmed Emergency Management Coordinator — while Michigan statute (MCL §380.1308b) mandates biennial EOP review. Non-compliance risks loss of state assistance, increased liability, and inadequate response to real-world threats like recent tornado warnings.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP, BRIC) offer direct funding pathways with limited local match, and the newly approved FY27 Capital Projects budget opens an immediate window to obligate funds. A new Superintendent entering within the first 90–180 days creates a favorable climate for advancing safety and compliance initiatives now.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass-notification setup lacks confirmed integration with emergency management workflows, creating gaps in preparedness communication during severe weather and other critical events. Michigan statute (MCL §380.1308b) mandates biennial EOP review, and unresolved gaps in notification capability elevate both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The newly approved FY27 capital budget and a recent leadership transition create an immediate window to advance communication infrastructure upgrades. Homeland Security and resilience-focused grant programs with near-term deadlines offer viable funding pathways, reducing local cost burden while strengthening district-wide preparedness and statutory compliance.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Student Transportation Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an aging bus fleet without confirmed telematics or dash-cam systems, limiting visibility into driver behavior and incident response. This gap creates operational and liability risk, leaving the district without data-driven tools to proactively ensure student safety.
The opportunity
The recently approved capital projects budget and cooperative purchasing memberships provide immediate funding capacity and a streamlined procurement pathway. Grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines may further offset costs, making this fiscal cycle an actionable window to advance fleet safety outcomes.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's technology environment reflects fragmented point solutions and siloed management, creating gaps in endpoint oversight and credential security. The 2021–2026 Strategic Plan formally identifies IT and cybersecurity modernization as a priority, signaling unmet needs and institutional readiness for action.
The opportunity
A recently approved $46.3M operating budget and active capital projects cycle create an immediate procurement window aligned with FY planning. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, streamlining acquisition and reducing administrative burden for qualifying technology investments.
