Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a confirmed EOP review status and has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating direct exposure under Michigan mandates MCL 380.1308b and MCL 380.1241. These gaps present compounding legal and operational safety risks for students and staff.
The opportunity
Multiple grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines provide clear funding paths, and an existing cooperative purchasing agreement supports streamlined procurement. Acting within the current 90-day window addresses compliance mandates and strengthens campus safety outcomes before the next fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization for School Safety
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district relies on an aging mass notification system with unknown end-of-life status, creating reliability and reach risks during emergencies. Combined with an unconfirmed EOP review status and no named Emergency Management Coordinator, the district faces compounding compliance exposure under MCL 380.1308b and operational risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
Fiscal year-end timing and an upcoming budget meeting create an immediate procurement window, while grants including HSGP, BRIC, and COPS TEP — with deadlines approaching in 2026 — offer eligible funding paths. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, strengthens emergency response, and aligns with the district's stated strategic priority for school safety.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing portal hosts PDFs and digital content without a documented ADA remediation plan, creating federal WCAG 2.1 compliance exposure. This gap presents digital equity risk for community members and leaves the district vulnerable to compliance findings.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 is a federal requirement, and the district's recently renewed technology millage—generating approximately $7.6M—provides a clear funding path to act within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements may further streamline and accelerate procurement.
Technology Enhancement Millage
Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Recent large-scale Chromebook and laptop deployments lack visible centralized endpoint management or credential security controls, creating meaningful gaps in the district's cybersecurity posture. Without scalable solutions, student and staff data remain at risk, and the district's 1:1 device program and 2022–2027 strategic plan cannot be fully realized.
The opportunity
The recently renewed Monroe County Educational Technology Enhancement millage (~$7.6M) explicitly funds educational technology and cybersecurity, providing a clear and immediate budget pathway. Additional grant programs further expand funding options, and an active procurement cycle signals an open window to act within the current fiscal year.
Fleet Safety Monitoring & Liability Risk Mitigation
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a telematics or dashcam program, leaving fleet operations without active safety monitoring or incident documentation. Participation in a risk pool without supporting mitigation tools creates a growing liability exposure gap that could affect students, staff, and public funds.
The opportunity
Millage funding designated for transportation and technology initiatives may provide a viable path to implement fleet safety solutions within the current budget cycle. Establishing a monitoring program now reduces future liability risk and supports responsible stewardship of district resources before incidents occur.
