Multi-Campus Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lighthouse Academy lacks a dedicated, district-wide Emergency Operations Plan — the current document is a 'Return to Learn' plan — with no confirmed mass notification system or named emergency management coordinator. These gaps are compounded by the September 2026 opening of a new Cedar Springs campus, elevating multi-site coordination risk and Michigan Publication 201 compliance exposure.
The opportunity
A budget hearing scheduled for May 19, 2026 creates a near-term decision window, while FY26 COPS SVPP and FEMA HSGP grants offer strong funding pathways with limited local match requirements. Acting now ensures compliance, supports safe campus expansion, and positions the district to capture available public-safety funding before the new campus opens.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lighthouse Academy lacks a unified, district-wide mass notification system, leaving campuses reliant on fragmented communication tools with no coordinated emergency alerting capability. With a second campus opening in September 2026 and an EOP mandate under Michigan Publication 201, this gap poses escalating compliance and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
The May 2026 budget hearing and September 2026 campus opening define a narrow, high-stakes procurement window. FY26 COPS SVPP and FEMA HSGP grants offer aligned funding with strong eligibility signals, reducing local budget burden while advancing student and staff safety outcomes across all campuses.

High Priority
About this project
The September 2026 opening of a new Cedar Springs campus creates immediate demand for integrated technology and emergency preparedness infrastructure. The district lacks a standalone EOP, a documented mass notification system, and a named multi-campus emergency coordinator — gaps that carry compliance risk under Michigan Publication 201.
The opportunity
Active budget planning with a formal hearing in May 2026 creates a near-term window to direct resources before funds are committed. FY26 federal grant programs aligned with school safety and emergency preparedness — alongside cooperative purchasing options — can accelerate procurement and reduce local cost burden.
