Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Biennial Review
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and is not meeting the statutory biennial review requirement under MCL 380.1308b, creating significant compliance exposure. Current emergency management investment is critically low, with no HSEEP-style reviews in place, leaving students and staff underprotected.
The opportunity
The unmet statutory mandate creates an immediate compliance obligation that cannot be deferred, and grants such as COPS SVPP explicitly include public charter schools as eligible applicants. With a budget hearing approaching in May 2027, now is the time to align funding and close preparedness gaps before the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school relies on a limited parent messaging tool rather than an enterprise-grade mass notification platform, leaving staff and the broader community underserved during emergencies. This gap contributes to an unmet statutory EOP review requirement (MCL 380.1308b), elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as COPS SVPP and BRIC directly support alert and warning system investments, with public charter schools identified as eligible applicants. The May 2027 budget hearing provides a near-term procurement anchor, making this an actionable window to close a mandated compliance gap and strengthen campus-wide emergency readiness.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has adopted a formal WCAG accessibility policy, creating an active compliance obligation across its digital properties. Implementation gaps may expose the school to legal and reputational risk, particularly given increasing scrutiny of public-facing digital equity in K–12 settings.
The opportunity
With a formal policy already in place, the compliance driver is established and procurement can be structured within the school's professional services thresholds, minimizing budget impact. Addressing gaps now reduces legal exposure and advances the school's stated strategic commitment to equitable digital access.
Student Transportation Safety & Fleet Monitoring
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The school operates student transportation without documented driver monitoring or telematics tools, creating a gap in safety oversight and accountability. Without visibility into fleet behavior, the school assumes operational and liability risk that proactive monitoring could mitigate.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing agreements offer a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path well-suited to small-district budget constraints. Addressing this gap ahead of the upcoming budget cycle supports student safety obligations and responsible stewardship of public funds.
