Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a dedicated mass notification system, has no Emergency Management Coordinator, and operates on outdated COVID-era plans. Michigan Publication 201a mandates an EOP review cycle, creating direct compliance exposure and elevating risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
FEMA FY2026 HSGP funding explicitly covers emergency communications and mass-notification systems, and the late-June FY27 budget posting opens an immediate July–August purchasing window. Acting now aligns with the ESSER III "Plan for Safe Return" mandate and positions the academy to close compliance and safety gaps before the next review cycle.

Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
A prior bus incident and the absence of driver behavior monitoring or onboard recording tools signal an unaddressed transportation safety gap. Without telematics oversight, the district remains exposed to recurring liability, limited incident accountability, and preventable safety risks for students.
The opportunity
Increased per-pupil school safety funding and a 2.5% foundation allowance rise create near-term budget capacity for a telematics deployment. The July–August window aligned with FY27 availability, combined with cooperative procurement options, offers a low-friction path to act now.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No enterprise password or credential management solution is in place, creating measurable risk around access control and credential hygiene across district systems. An Internet Safety and Technology Protection compliance mandate adds regulatory urgency to close this gap before it results in an audit finding or incident.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget window (July–August) and statewide increases in school safety and cybersecurity funding create a timely, funded pathway to act. Addressing this now reduces breach risk, supports compliance, and positions the district to steward public data responsibly.

IT Modernization · Student Data Security
High Priority
About this project
The academy's active 2:1 Chromebook program lacks a centralized endpoint management platform, leaving device visibility, policy enforcement, and security controls unaddressed across a large student fleet. Without structured oversight, the district faces elevated risk of data exposure, policy non-compliance, and unmanaged device sprawl.
The opportunity
A recent per-pupil funding increase and the July–August purchasing window create immediate budget alignment for a net-new endpoint management solution. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports responsible stewardship of public funds and strengthens device security outcomes for students and staff.
