EOP Development and Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Detroit Prep lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and a school-managed mass notification system, creating statutory compliance gaps under MCL 380.1308b, including overdue fire drill and county reporting obligations. Documented parent safety concerns compound reputational and operational risk for the school community.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS School Violence Prevention Program explicitly funds school safety technology, including mass notification systems, offering a near-term funding pathway with strong alignment to this project. Active Five-Year and MICIP planning cycles create immediate spending windows to close compliance gaps and strengthen preparedness outcomes for students and staff.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Detroit Prep has a stated WCAG/ADA accessibility commitment, but its CMS platform relies on separate PDF workflows that create persistent document accessibility gaps. This exposes the school to legal and compliance risk for public-facing digital content, affecting equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Alignment with the school's Five-Year Plan and existing grant obligations creates a near-term procurement window for addressing accessibility gaps. Acting within the current planning cycle reduces legal exposure, supports equitable digital access, and leverages cooperative purchasing agreements for a streamlined, cost-effective path forward.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The school operates bus routes without documented dash cameras or telematics systems, creating visibility gaps in student transport safety and driver accountability. Without baseline monitoring tools, the district lacks data to support insurance, incident response, or operational oversight requirements.
The opportunity
Transportation safety investments may align with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and compliance-driven budget priorities, particularly as overall general fund capacity has grown. Establishing foundational fleet monitoring now positions the district to meet future safety mandates and reduce long-term liability exposure.
