EOP Compliance & Emergency Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces urgent compliance mandates under Michigan statute MCL 380.1308b and MSP Publication 201a, requiring current Emergency Operations Plan reviews and CEO sign-off. A structural gap exists with no named Emergency Management Coordinator on record, leaving preparedness oversight unassigned and the district exposed to regulatory and safety risk.
The opportunity
The upcoming June 2026 Board Budget Hearing creates a clear, near-term decision window, and voter-approved millage renewal preserves operating funds for investment. The School Violence Prevention Program (SVPP) grant offers a strong FY26 funding pathway to close preparedness gaps and achieve compliance.

School Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a dedicated mass notification system, relying on a county-managed opt-in alert service that leaves critical communication gaps for students, staff, and families. Michigan statute MCL 380.1308b and MSP Publication 201a mandate EOP compliance, and the absence of an integrated district-specific solution elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The FY26 School Violence Prevention Program grant provides a direct, near-term funding path for school safety and mass notification initiatives. With a board budget hearing approaching in June 2026 and an active district investment in digital communications, the timing is well-aligned to advance this project within the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No dashcam or telematics system is currently in place, leaving driver behavior and incident response unmonitored across the fleet. Without a structured fleet safety program, the district faces elevated liability exposure and limited visibility into operational risk.
The opportunity
A voter-approved bond provides capital capacity to support infrastructure investments, and cooperative purchasing pathways can streamline procurement and accelerate deployment. Addressing this gap now positions the district to reduce liability, improve accountability, and align with the upcoming budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a named Emergency Management Coordinator and a dedicated mass notification system, creating compliance gaps under Michigan statute MCL 380.1308b and MSP Publication 201a. Without these safeguards, the district faces elevated risk to student and staff safety and unmet EOP review mandates.
The opportunity
The FY26 School Violence Prevention Program grant offers a near-term funding path for mass notification and school safety infrastructure, with a budget hearing in June 2026 providing a clear decision window. Acting now aligns investment with available grant cycles, operating millage funds, and urgent compliance requirements.
