Emergency Preparedness Infrastructure Build-Out for K–8 Charter School
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Huron Academy lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, published after-action reviews, and a designated emergency management lead — creating measurable compliance exposure and operational risk for students and staff. Current annual spending of roughly $4,100 on emergency management technology reflects a significantly underdeveloped safety infrastructure for a 636-student institution.
The opportunity
Approved 2026–2027 general fund budget and alignment with federal grant programs focused on emergency preparedness create a viable, near-term funding path with limited local match required. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens continuity planning, and improves safety outcomes for students, staff, and the broader school community.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Huron Academy's current mass notification platform may not fully address its emergency communication needs, particularly given the absence of a public EOP, after-action reviews, and a named emergency management lead. These gaps elevate operational and safety risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
Homeland Security grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC offer eligible funding pathways for emergency communication and preparedness initiatives, reducing local budget pressure. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with the school's approved 2026–2027 budget and cooperative procurement membership, streamlining the path to a more comprehensive solution.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Huron Academy has a published Web Accessibility Policy but carries an active federal complaint for WCAG/ADA non-compliance, with documented gaps in PDF and digital document accessibility. This creates legal liability and mandates timely remediation to ensure equitable access for all students, families, and staff.
The opportunity
An active Website Accessibility Compliance initiative signals leadership commitment and budget intent, while MiDEAL cooperative membership supports streamlined, compliant procurement. Addressing remediation now reduces regulatory exposure and aligns with the current budget cycle before compliance risk escalates.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Huron Academy lacks a documented endpoint management solution, and foundational password hygiene gaps create credential and access risks across platforms including Google Classroom and PowerSchool. For a 636-student institution, these unaddressed vulnerabilities represent meaningful exposure to data breaches and unauthorized access.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget cycle and positive overall budget health create a viable window to allocate funds toward foundational security tooling. Federal grant programs with cybersecurity-eligible components may offset costs, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compounding risk to student and staff data.
