Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Certification
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and is out of compliance with Michigan's EOP review and certification mandate under MCL 380.1308b. Without formal exercises or a structured response framework, an external authorizer has issued a charter non-renewal warning, elevating both safety and operational risk.
The opportunity
Federal grants including EMPG and HSGP provide direct funding paths for emergency preparedness initiatives, and the school's improving fiscal outlook supports near-term procurement action. Addressing this compliance gap now reduces charter risk, strengthens student and staff safety, and aligns with the current grant cycle.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently has no mass-notification vendor, creating a critical gap in emergency communications with staff and families during incidents. This deficiency compounds existing EOP shortfalls and elevates compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b, with charter non-renewal warnings adding institutional urgency.
The opportunity
EMPG grant funding explicitly covers mass-notification systems, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined procurement path. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes a public safety gap, and supports the school's operational stability ahead of its next authorizer review.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No enterprise endpoint management or credential management solutions are currently in place, leaving systems and sensitive data exposed to preventable threats. With an annual IT budget of $85,127, existing spend reflects foundational technology investment but lacks enterprise-grade security coverage.
The opportunity
EMPG grant funding explicitly covers cybersecurity initiatives, offering a direct path to close critical security gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle and aligning with approved budget line items for IT services and security purchases positions this project for near-term implementation.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school's public-facing web presence has identified gaps against WCAG and ADA standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for students, families, and community members with disabilities. While not the most urgent compliance priority, unresolved accessibility deficiencies remain an active regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Accessibility remediation can be bundled with broader IT or compliance spending already approved in the current budget cycle, reducing incremental cost. Acting within the upcoming fiscal window lowers legal liability and demonstrates commitment to equitable public access ahead of potential audits or complaints.
Strengthen Student Transportation Safety with Fleet Telematics
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The school operates bus transportation without documented dash camera or telematics systems, leaving a measurable gap in fleet visibility, driver accountability, and student safety oversight. This unaddressed risk exposes the district to liability and operational blind spots with no current solution in place.
The opportunity
Existing budget lines for security and safety purchased services may support initial investment, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now closes a moderate but unaddressed safety gap and strengthens the district's overall risk posture ahead of authorizer review.
