Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
This charter school of 306 students has no publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating direct legal exposure under MCL 380.1308b, which mandates EOP review and certification. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
An active school safety initiative and the FY26/27 budget adoption cycle create a near-term procurement window, while grants including BRIC, COPS SVPP, and HSGP offer viable funding paths. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal liability, strengthens student safety, and aligns with current planning and funding timelines.
Mass Notification Modernization for School Safety
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently relies on basic communication methods that are insufficient for timely, reliable emergency alerts to staff, students, and the broader school community. This gap is explicitly cited as an emergency preparedness deficiency and creates direct compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b, which mandates EOP review and certification.
The opportunity
Active grant programs support emergency management technology investments, and the current FY26–27 budget cycle presents a timely procurement window. Addressing this now closes a documented compliance gap, strengthens school safety outcomes, and leverages cooperative purchasing pathways to accelerate implementation.
Strengthen Credential Security and Identity Access Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Without a dedicated enterprise password management solution, the school's reliance on Google Workspace as its sole identity platform leaves credential access controls exposed. This gap increases the risk of unauthorized access to student and staff data, a growing concern for small schools with limited IT oversight.
The opportunity
The active FY26/27 budget cycle and operational stability from recent charter reauthorization create a near-term window to address this vulnerability before the next fiscal year closes. Investments in identity and credential management are broadly eligible for state and federal cybersecurity funding streams available to K–12 institutions.
