Milan Area Schools board approves updated emergency operations plans under state code
Summary
Board approved updated Emergency Operations Plans, revised to Michigan Department of Education templates and reviewed with local law enforcement, noting the documents are lengthy and not publicly posted because of security concerns.
The Milan Area Schools Board of Education unanimously approved updated Emergency Operations Plans that Superintendent Ryan McMahon said were revised to comply with the Michigan Revised School Code requirement (MCL 380.1308b) and the Michigan Department of Education’s new template.
McMahon told the board the plans have been reviewed with local law-enforcement partners and are part of the district’s required two-year review cycle. He described the plans as lengthy — roughly 100 pages each — and said the district typically does not release the full documents publicly because they contain security-sensitive material.
The board moved to approve the plans, with a roll-call vote of seven yes and zero no.
Why it matters: Updated emergency operations plans set procedures the district will follow during incidents that affect student and staff safety. Compliance with state law and local-law-enforcement review are standard practices the superintendent emphasized.
During brief discussion, a board member thanked administrators for making the documents "very readable and very understandable," and McMahon credited administrators and Mrs. Bookout for leading the update work.
The board approved the motion without amendment and did not request that the district post the full plans online.
Next steps: The district said it will continue collaborating with local law enforcement and update the plans on the required cycle; the finalized documents will remain internal due to security considerations.
