Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Crescent Academy's Emergency Operations Plan is outdated and overdue for review, creating direct compliance risk under Michigan MCL 380.1308b. Critical gaps — including no documented mass notification system and no named Emergency Management Coordinator — leave students, staff, and the institution exposed to operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget received board approval in June 2026, and multiple grant programs — including school safety-focused funding — are aligned to this need. Acting within the current fiscal window addresses overdue compliance obligations and strengthens campus-wide emergency preparedness for 737 students and staff.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Crescent Academy lacks a documented mass notification system, ranking it among the school's top three emergency preparedness gaps, alongside an overdue EOP review required under Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b). Without reliable emergency communication, students, staff, and families face elevated safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The board-approved FY2027 budget creates an active appropriation window, and ESSER-aligned safety planning increases the likelihood of funding for mass notification. Grant programs explicitly matched to school safety—including SVPP—are available, and Michigan's cooperative purchasing program offers a streamlined, low-friction procurement path.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces an active WCAG 2.1 / ADA compliance mandate, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access for students, families, and staff. Grant compliance obligations further reinforce the need to close digital accessibility gaps on the current web platform.
The opportunity
Grant-tied technology obligations and a recently approved FY2027 budget create a clear procurement window to address accessibility requirements now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with existing cooperative purchasing pathways available to the institution.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An open IT Director/CIO position signals a gap in technology leadership, leaving infrastructure and security needs unaddressed. Budget lines for IT providers and software are confirmed for FY2027, but existing deficiencies may pose operational and compliance risk without dedicated oversight.
The opportunity
The current leadership transition and board-approved FY2027 budget create a near-term procurement window aligned with incoming priorities. Addressing infrastructure and cybersecurity gaps now supports operational continuity, stewardship of public funds, and may align with state cooperative purchasing programs to reduce procurement friction.
