Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, documented After-Action Reviews, and verified integration between district and county mass notification systems. A statutory mandate under MCL 380.1308b requires biennial EOP review, creating an active compliance obligation and measurable operational safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The biennial EOP mandate creates a non-discretionary, near-term action requirement, while the loss of $305K in school safety funding elevates urgency for alternative funding paths. Federal preparedness grant programs and Ingham ISD bond allocations for security and communication systems may offer eligible funding aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
Phone System Replacement and Network Re-Cabling
School Safety · Communication Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district has active solicitations underway for a full phone system replacement and network re-cabling, reflecting an immediate procurement need tied to school safety and communication reliability. The current communication platform faces potential displacement or integration challenges, creating operational risk if the transition is not managed within the active procurement window.
The opportunity
Active solicitations signal a near-term award window, making this an urgent priority for budget alignment and procurement action. Ingham ISD bond funding designated for technology, security, and communication systems may offer an indirect funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing membership can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent third-party platform incident has exposed gaps in the district's credential and endpoint security across a fragmented SaaS environment, including its identity and access controls. Addressing these vulnerabilities is critical to protecting student data, maintaining compliance, and restoring stakeholder trust.
The opportunity
Reputational and compliance pressure following the incident creates immediate urgency, while justice-assistance grant funding offers a viable path to offset procurement costs within the current cycle. Acting now reduces audit exposure and strengthens the district's long-term security posture ahead of the next fiscal year.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
While the district asserts WCAG AA conformance, evolving accessibility standards require continuous remediation across public-facing portals. Fragmented SaaS tools increase consolidation and compliance risk, exposing the district to legal liability and inequitable constituent access.
The opportunity
An active district initiative signals leadership prioritization, creating a timely window to address gaps before legal exposure escalates. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement and align remediation efforts with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Student Safety · Transportation Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks deployed fleet safety technology—such as dashcams or telematics—on school buses, creating an unmonitored risk exposure despite no recent incidents. The absence of these tools leaves the district without data to support liability defense, driver accountability, or proactive safety intervention.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement without a formal bid process, reducing time-to-deployment. Piloting fleet monitoring now positions the district to reduce liability exposure, strengthen student safety outcomes, and build a data foundation ahead of future budget or grant cycles.
