Emergency Operations Plan Development & HSEEP Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and documented HSEEP-style exercises, placing it out of compliance with Michigan mandate MCL 380.1308b. These gaps create significant regulatory exposure and leave students, staff, and the institution without a tested emergency response framework.
The opportunity
FY2026 grant funding through Homeland Security and school safety programs is directly applicable to emergency communications and preparedness initiatives, with the recently adopted FY2026-27 budget including provisions for emergency needs transfers. Acting now closes critical compliance gaps, strengthens campus safety, and leverages available funding before the grant window closes.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently has no mass-notification system in place, leaving students, staff, and families without reliable emergency communications. This gap creates direct compliance and safety risk, particularly given mandated EOP review requirements under MCL 380.1308b and the absence of documented HSEEP-style preparedness exercises.
The opportunity
FY2026 grant programs explicitly funding emergency communications and mass-notification systems provide a clear, immediate funding path with no incumbent solution to displace. Acting within the current grant window aligns procurement with the adopted budget cycle and closes a critical compliance and safety gap before the next required EOP review.
Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The academy operates door-to-door student transportation without an identified telematics or fleet management solution, creating measurable safety and liability exposure. The Transportation Agreement Renewal is flagged as a top strategic priority with active board-level attention, signaling an urgent operational gap.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026-27 budget includes a $2M+ Transportation allocation, providing a direct funding pathway for fleet management investment. With a high initiative urgency score and cooperative purchasing available, this project is positioned for near-term procurement that improves student safety and strengthens operational accountability.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity and website accessibility compliance are identified as top urgency drivers, with budget-approved spending already in place for IT modernization. Gaps in credential and identity security present operational risk to staff, student data, and continuity of district services.
The opportunity
FY2026 grant programs explicitly include cybersecurity as an eligible funding category, offering a direct path to offset modernization costs. With budget adoption complete and leadership aligned, acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the district to close compliance gaps and reduce exposure before the next audit or incident.
Website Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces unresolved WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across its digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for students, families, and staff. Active web design work is underway, but accessibility requirements remain unaddressed, elevating both litigation and reputational risk.
The opportunity
Website and digital services spending is budget-approved for FY2026–27, creating a clear procurement window to remediate compliance gaps alongside existing digital initiatives. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal liability, advances equitable service delivery, and aligns with the current budget cycle.
