Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps with Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Eaton Academy lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a mass-notification system, and after-action documentation — foundational gaps that elevate operational and liability risk for students, staff, and the broader school community. Without these systems in place, the school's ability to coordinate rapid response and meet preparedness standards remains limited.
The opportunity
The School Violence Prevention Program grant represents a direct funding match for emergency alert and notification technology, creating a well-defined procurement window aligned with the school's active drill program. Recent state K-12 budget approvals and cooperative purchasing options through REMC further support a near-term path to closing these critical safety gaps.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
As a public charter school, Eaton Academy is subject to federal ADA requirements and an ongoing WCAG 2.1 compliance mandate. Current gaps—including inaccessible PDFs used for public meeting accommodations and unverified digital accessibility across the school website—create legal exposure and equity risk for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY27 budget and Michigan's FY2026-27 K-12 funding create a timely window to address compliance gaps before they escalate into formal complaints or audit findings. Acting now supports equitable access for all community members and aligns remediation costs with available discretionary and state funding cycles.

High Priority
About this project
Existing technical controls for password and credential management are not fully robust, creating a measurable security and compliance gap. Acceptable-use and internet-safety policies are already codified in the student handbook, but enforcement relies on policy alone without adequate technical safeguards.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY27 budget opens a clear procurement window, and cooperative purchasing agreements may streamline acquisition with reduced administrative burden. Addressing this gap now aligns credential security with existing policy mandates and reduces institutional risk ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
Eaton Academy operates two-way bus transportation without documented telematics or camera monitoring, creating an unaddressed liability exposure. The gap between services provided and oversight capabilities in place represents a preventive safety risk for students and the institution.
The opportunity
Recent FY2026–27 state budget approval and an established cooperative purchasing relationship (REMC) create a viable, low-friction path to act now. Addressing this proactively reduces liability, strengthens the school's safety culture, and positions the initiative within current budget and procurement cycles.
