Emergency Operations Plan Development and Formalization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hamtramck Academy lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a generic phone-calling system for mass notification, leaving students and staff exposed during incidents. Documented lockdown events without after-action reports and compliance obligations under PA 12 of 2014 and mandated safety drills underscore the urgency of formalizing emergency preparedness.
The opportunity
Multiple grant opportunities—including School Security Equipment Grants, BRIC, HSGP, and SVPP—carry 2026–2027 deadlines, offering a clear funding path with the school's May budget adoption window creating a near-term procurement decision point. Acting now aligns with leadership's existing Safe Schools priorities and reduces compliance and operational risk before the next drill cycle.

Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hamtramck Academy currently relies on a generic phone-calling system for emergency notifications, with no publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and no documented after-action reports following real lockdown incidents. These gaps create measurable compliance risk under PA 12 of 2014 and school safety drill mandates, leaving students and staff underserved during critical events.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs—including School Security Equipment Grants, BRIC, HSGP, and SVPP—are aligned with mass notification and school safety infrastructure, with deadlines spanning 2026–2027. With the school's annual budget adoption occurring in May, the current fiscal window is the right moment to advance procurement and close documented safety and compliance gaps.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Hamtramck Academy faces ongoing WCAG 2.0 Level AA and Section 504/Title II compliance obligations, with annual web accessibility audits required by law. Gaps in digital portal accessibility expose the school to civil rights risk and limit equitable access for students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
Annual audit cycles create a recurring, time-sensitive window to remediate accessibility gaps before findings escalate. Increased marketing and digital services budget signals near-term procurement readiness, and cooperative purchasing vehicles offer a streamlined, cost-effective path to compliance.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
An existing single sign-on implementation creates a foundation for expanding credential and access management capabilities, while rising data processing expenditures signal growing infrastructure complexity. Without a unified identity management strategy, schools face elevated risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and compliance gaps affecting staff and student data.
The opportunity
Increased investment in data processing services and an active cybersecurity modernization initiative signal budget alignment and organizational readiness for this project. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, and action taken within the current fiscal cycle supports both operational continuity and stewardship of public funds.
