Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance Review
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style reviews, and clear school-level staffing protocols. Michigan's biennial EOP review mandate carries a direct consequence of lost state disaster assistance eligibility, and the county's active EMPG award requires an approved, current EOP.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant windows in 2026 explicitly fund emergency communications and mass-notification systems, offering a cost-effective path to close compliance gaps. Acting now protects state disaster assistance eligibility, satisfies county EMPG obligations, and strengthens district-wide safety readiness.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a clearly documented, independent mass notification capability, creating significant gaps in emergency communications for staff and community during incidents. Michigan's biennial EOP review mandate—with loss of state disaster assistance as a consequence—makes closing this gap both a compliance and operational safety imperative.
The opportunity
FEMA BRIC and HSGP grant windows extending into 2026 explicitly fund mass-notification and emergency communications systems, offering a near-term, grant-eligible path to address the gap with limited local match. Acting now aligns with EOP compliance timelines, strengthens community safety, and positions the district ahead of upcoming leadership transition.
FEMA BRIC
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Student Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent school bus evacuation due to mechanical failure has exposed gaps in the district's ability to document faults, monitor driver behavior, and manage liability—despite an existing bus management tool. The absence of dash-camera or telematics deployments leaves the district without critical data for incident response and risk mitigation.
The opportunity
Significant capital outlay increases in the current budget cycle create a viable funding pathway for fleet technology tied to capital procurement, with cooperative purchasing options available to streamline acquisition. Acting now addresses an active safety concern, strengthens liability documentation, and aligns with the district's ongoing transportation obligations.

Discuss this project →Strengthen District Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's current managed IT and cybersecurity posture may leave endpoint devices and staff credentials inadequately protected, creating exposure to data breaches and unauthorized access. With a growing technology budget and no confirmed endpoint management or credential security controls in place, operational and compliance risk is elevated.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding explicitly covers IT and cybersecurity equipment, offering a viable path to offset project costs within the current grant window. Acting ahead of the upcoming leadership transition ensures continuity and positions the district to meet evolving state and federal security expectations.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
ADA & Web Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The district carries an active OCR Resolution Agreement from 2017 requiring WCAG 2.0 Level AA conformance, with emerging pressure to meet the more current WCAG 2.1 AA standard. Unresolved gaps expose the district to legal liability and restrict equitable digital access for residents and families.
The opportunity
Active capital procurement and increased technology expenditures in the current budget cycle create a viable funding pathway to stage remediation by risk severity. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces legal exposure and aligns with ongoing federal accessibility obligations before audit or complaint escalation.
