Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, placing it in direct non-compliance with Michigan law MCL 380.1308b, which mandates EOPs and biennial reviews. The absence of documented after-action reviews and a mass notification system compounds both the legal and operational preparedness risk.
The opportunity
A targeted school-safety grant with an August 2026 deadline offers a near-term funding pathway for emergency management and notification technology with limited local match required. The active FY27 budget cycle and recent budget hearing create an immediate decision window to close compliance gaps and strengthen campus safety outcomes.
Mass Notification System for School Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a mass notification system, creating a critical gap in its ability to alert staff, students, and families during emergencies. This absence compounds existing emergency preparedness deficiencies and places the district out of alignment with Michigan's EOP requirements under MCL 380.1308b.
The opportunity
The SVPP grant, with an August 2026 deadline, directly funds school safety and mass-notification technology with a defined funding path. Acting within the active FY27 budget cycle positions the district to close a compliance gap, strengthen emergency response, and protect students and staff.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
This entity faces ongoing legal exposure under WCAG 2.1 and ADA requirements, with no documented remediation status for its public-facing digital properties. Unresolved accessibility gaps create risk of complaints, litigation, and inequitable access to public information for students, families, and community members.
The opportunity
Web accessibility compliance carries continuous legal obligation, making any delay a compounding liability rather than a deferred cost. Addressing gaps now aligns with the active FY27 budget cycle and supports equitable digital access as a measurable public-service outcome.

EdTech Infrastructure · Digital Media Learning
High Priority
About this project
A $30,000 grant is funding a new Esports Lab and Multimedia Classroom set to launch in Fall 2026, expanding digital content creation capabilities and introducing new student-facing endpoints. This growth increases demand for structured endpoint management and digital media tooling to ensure operational readiness at launch.
The opportunity
The Fall 2026 launch creates a near-term procurement window aligned with the active FY27 budget cycle, supporting timely investment in endpoint and media solutions. Secured grant funding signals purchasing readiness, and cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Michigan entities can streamline acquisition.
