Emergency Operations Plan Development for School Safety
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Chandler Park Academy lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, documented exercises, and a named emergency management coordinator, creating significant compliance gaps under Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS mandates. With 2,098 students at risk, these unaddressed deficiencies elevate operational, safety, and regulatory exposure.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle, with hearings in May/June and a July 1 effective date, creates an immediate window for funding decisions, and multiple aligned grant programs are available to offset local costs. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens student and staff safety, and positions the academy to leverage current grant opportunities before the cycle closes.
Cybersecurity & IT Endpoint Consolidation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Chandler Park Academy's recently approved Information Security Policy #8305 (February 2026) has created an immediate compliance mandate, while a fragmented IT environment of disconnected SaaS tools exposes the district to endpoint management and password security gaps. Without consolidation, operational risk to staff, student data, and device continuity remains elevated heading into the new fiscal year.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle and SVPP grant eligibility create a well-timed window to address compliance mandates and reduce operational risk. Acting now aligns procurement with budget hearings and supports the district's confirmed strategic initiative around IT helpdesk and device support.
Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Chandler Park Academy's February 2026 Digital Content and Accessibility Policy approval created an immediate compliance obligation, with confirmed gaps in web accessibility posing legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for students, families, and constituents. Failure to remediate these gaps risks civil rights liability and undermines the district's public-facing digital services.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle and potential alignment with state and federal accessibility funding create a timely window to address compliance requirements before the new fiscal year takes effect. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and positions the district to meet its policy mandate with available funding pathways.
Fleet Safety & Transportation Technology Modernization
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
Chandler Park Academy lacks any publicly documented fleet safety infrastructure, including dash cameras and telematics systems, creating a significant operational gap in its transportation program. Without these tools, the academy has limited visibility into vehicle safety, driver behavior, and incident documentation, elevating risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–27 budget cycle and potential applicability of SVPP grant funding create a timely window to address this greenfield gap with limited local match required. Establishing fleet safety infrastructure now reduces operational liability and positions the academy for stronger transportation accountability and student safety outcomes.
Streamlining IT Procurement Through Cooperative Contracts
IT Procurement · Cooperative Purchasing
High Priority
About this project
Chandler Park Academy operates across multiple technology project areas without a confirmed primary procurement vehicle, creating potential delays and competitive exposure. Leveraging cooperative purchasing agreements can simplify contract execution and ensure compliant, timely acquisition of needed solutions.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle, a confirmed $220K IDEA flow-through allocation, and Michigan PA-22 grant signals create a timely window for procurement decisions. Cooperative contracts reduce administrative burden and accelerate access to solutions aligned with current compliance mandates and strategic priorities.
