Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Update
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Woodland School's Emergency Operations Plan is 6 years old, significantly exceeding Michigan's mandated review cycle under MCL 380.1308b, with no dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator in place. Current mass notification relies on a consumer-grade app, leaving students, staff, and the broader school community underserved by a fragmented and non-compliant preparedness infrastructure.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY 2026–2027 budget opens an immediate procurement window, and federal grant programs aligned with alert, warning, and communications planning offer viable funding pathways with limited local match. Acting now closes a statutory compliance gap, strengthens school safety outcomes, and positions the district to leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles for streamlined acquisition.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently relies on a consumer messaging app for mass notifications, creating a critical gap in emergency alerting capability and integration. With the Emergency Operations Plan overdue for review under Michigan statute (MCL 380.1308b), the absence of an enterprise-grade notification system elevates both compliance and operational risk for staff and the community.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY 2026–2027 budget signals an active procurement window, and Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding explicitly supports alert and warning capabilities. Addressing this gap now advances EOP compliance, strengthens incident response, and positions the school to leverage available grant funding with established cooperative procurement channels already in place.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school maintains a Website Accessibility Policy and uses a third-party tool, but gaps in ADA and digital compliance across public-facing portals persist. These unresolved gaps expose the district to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
A recently approved budget cycle and the absence of active contracts create an open procurement window for phased, cost-effective remediation. Addressing compliance gaps now supports equitable digital access, reduces legal exposure, and aligns with current fiscal-year spending readiness.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
This small school lacks enterprise-level endpoint management and password management tooling, despite having an Acceptable Use Policy in place. With a lean IT team supporting 213 students, the absence of enforcement capabilities creates measurable cybersecurity and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The newly approved FY 2026–2027 budget opens an immediate procurement window, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline acquisition with minimal administrative burden. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk and positions the school for stronger cybersecurity posture ahead of future audits or mandates.
Fleet Safety Monitoring for Student Transportation
Student Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district is exploring vehicle safety monitoring as a proactive measure for its student transportation operations, with no documented fleet incidents or insurance pressures currently on record. Without a formal telematics program, the district lacks visibility into driver behavior, vehicle performance, and liability exposure across its fleet.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY 2026–2027 budget opens a procurement window, and cooperative purchasing channels are available to simplify evaluation and acquisition. The COPS TEP grant represents a potential funding pathway worth exploring as leadership interest develops.
