Early Education Expansion The district is actively expanding early childhood programming at the MacNaughton Learning Center, supported by a federal appropriations grant and start-up funding. This presents an opportunity to offer preschool-grade aligned curricula, teacher training, and integrated learning solutions, as well as partnerships for wraparound childcare.
Literacy Investment Significant literacy-focused funding has been secured through Michigan's Section 35m Literacy Grant to enhance instruction from kindergarten through eighth grade. This creates a potential need for literacy software, assessment tools, tutoring services, and professional development for literacy specialists.
Community Partnerships A new planned partnership with Natural Wonders Childcare Center to provide wraparound childcare indicates a strategic direction toward integrated student support services. This opens doors for family engagement platforms, scheduling/attendance systems, and collaborative programs spanning district and external childcare providers.
Capital Improvements Investments in athletic facilities reflect ongoing infrastructure upgrades that can drive demand for facility management tech, student-athlete data systems, digital signage, and safety/tracking solutions for schools and community venues.
Technology Stack The district already utilizes cloud-based and education-specific platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Workspace, AppliTrack, iCIMS) signaling openness to scalable edtech solutions, cybersecurity services, workforce management tools, and data analytics to support administration, recruitment, and student outcomes.
