Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Development
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
This K-12 school lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, with no evidence of required exercises or audits, placing it out of compliance with Michigan law mandating EOP reviews. The gap creates significant operational vulnerability and compliance risk, particularly given the school's substantial existing investment in emergency management and public safety technology.
The opportunity
Michigan compliance mandates and the FY2026-27 state budget's targeted school safety funding create strong urgency and financial pathways to act now. Federal grant programs aligned with school safety and preparedness are currently available, enabling the school to close compliance gaps and strengthen emergency readiness with limited local match required.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently relies on social media for emergency mass notification, creating a fragmented and unreliable communication infrastructure. This gap poses direct compliance and safety risks under Michigan's K-12 emergency preparedness mandates, leaving students, staff, and families vulnerable during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS SVPP grant includes an explicit mass notification component, offering a time-sensitive and well-aligned funding path with limited local match burden. Michigan's new K-12 budget also signals increased investment in school safety, making this an optimal moment to close compliance gaps and establish reliable emergency communication infrastructure.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
As a public charter school, Joy Preparatory Academy carries WCAG 2.1 compliance obligations across its digital presence, with identified gaps creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for families and community members. These unresolved accessibility barriers represent the most significant near-term operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Website accessibility is the highest-priority, near-term actionable gap, and Michigan's FY2026–27 per-pupil funding increase improves the school's capacity to invest. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, advances digital equity, and strengthens public-facing service delivery for all stakeholders.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The school's password management environment is fragmented across multiple systems, creating cybersecurity exposure and operational inefficiency for staff and students. This gap is especially pressing as the school advances a stated IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative, including a one-to-one device program.
The opportunity
Active investment in device modernization and a Chromebook-first environment create a natural entry point for streamlined credential management aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Consolidating now reduces security risk, supports compliance posture, and fits within the school's existing IT spend profile.
