Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Highpoint Virtual Academy of Michigan has critical emergency preparedness gaps — no publicly available EOP, no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and no documented HSEEP-style exercises — leaving students and staff without a compliant, tested response framework. These absences elevate operational and regulatory risk for the academy.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with July/August 2026 deadlines — including SVPP, HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG — directly fund EOP development and exercise planning, reducing local cost burden. Acting now aligns with the Board-approved FY2026–2027 budget cycle and addresses the academy's highest-urgency compliance and safety gap.
Strengthen Credential Security Across District Systems
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Highpoint Virtual Academy of Michigan faces strong compliance mandates around cybersecurity and password security, with an existing credential management solution identified as a consolidation risk. With over 2,600 students and $7.7M+ in annual IT spend, unmanaged credential vulnerabilities expose staff, students, and district data to significant operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The Board-approved FY2026–2027 IT and Cybersecurity Modernization budget creates an immediate procurement window. Grants including HSGP, EMPG, and JAG may provide supplemental funding, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline acquisition. Acting now aligns with fiscal-year planning and reduces compliance exposure.
Modernize Student Endpoint and Device Management
IT Modernization · K–12 Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Highpoint Virtual Academy of Michigan has a board-approved FY2026–2027 initiative for IT and cybersecurity modernization, with student device provisioning flagged as high-urgency. Without a consolidated endpoint management solution, the district faces operational inefficiencies and elevated cybersecurity risk across its 2,667-student virtual environment.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget line items for technology equipment and software maintenance are already approved for FY2026–2027, creating an immediate procurement window. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to K–12 entities can streamline acquisition, and alignment with federal cybersecurity grant programs may further offset costs.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Highpoint Virtual Academy of Michigan has identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for students and families. Federal grant compliance requirements under ESSER/ARP further elevate the urgency for accessibility documentation and technology upgrades.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 and federal grant compliance deadlines establish a defined remediation timeline, and the Board-approved FY2026–2027 budget includes software maintenance funding that aligns with this need. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to K-12 entities may accelerate procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification Integration for Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Highpoint Virtual Academy of Michigan lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and documented preparedness exercises — raising questions about whether its current mass notification system is fully integrated into a functional emergency management program. These gaps create operational and compliance risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with school safety and emergency management — including SVPP, HSGP, and EMPG — carry deadlines in the July/August 2026 window, creating a near-term funding pathway. Addressing notification integration now supports EOP development, strengthens compliance posture, and advances student and staff safety outcomes ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
