Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a district-level mass notification system, currently relying on voluntary city systems. This creates significant compliance exposure under Michigan's EOP review cycle and NIMS eligibility requirements, with active board procurement confirming the urgency.
The opportunity
The HSGP grant deadline in July 2026 provides a near-term funding path, and the district's May–June budget cycle creates a clear decision window. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens student and staff safety, and positions the district for grant eligibility.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of June 1, 2025, with periodic audits creating ongoing legal exposure risk. Gaps in digital portal accessibility affect equitable access for students, families, and staff while leaving the district vulnerable to civil rights complaints.
The opportunity
Active board procurement cycles and budget planning through May–June 2026 create a near-term decision window. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, supports equitable digital access, and aligns with cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline purchasing for public agencies.

Discuss this project →Districtwide Password Management & Credential Security
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented, districtwide password management standard, creating a consolidated credential security gap across staff and systems. Without a unified policy or platform, basic cybersecurity controls remain inconsistent, elevating risk of unauthorized access and potential data exposure for students and staff.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program offers a viable funding path, reducing reliance on a tight operating budget. Acting within the current budget and grant planning cycle positions the district to close a foundational security gap with no incumbent solution to navigate.

Discuss this project →IT Endpoint & Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The district operates an active device management program with ongoing endpoint expansion, while an incumbent IT management solution may present integration or consolidation gaps. The district's 3–5 year strategic plan identifies Operations as a priority, signaling a structured framework for technology investment decisions.
The opportunity
Budget cycle timing in May–June 2026 and access to cooperative purchasing vehicles create a streamlined path for procurement decisions. Aligning endpoint management investments now supports operational continuity, reduces administrative burden, and positions the district for multi-year technology sustainability.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Technology for Student Transportation
Student Safety · Fleet Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified a proactive need for fleet safety technology to address potential liability exposure in student transportation, though no documented incidents have been recorded. Without modern fleet safety tools, the district carries unmitigated operational and liability risk that could impact students, staff, and public trust.
The opportunity
JAG and EPA Clean School Bus grant programs offer viable funding paths that could advance this initiative with minimal general fund impact. Aligning procurement with the current budget planning cycle and cooperative purchasing agreements reduces cost and administrative burden for the district.
