Emergency Operations Plan Development for K-8 Academy
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Madison-Carver Academy lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating critical compliance and safety gaps under EOP and NIMS mandates. With an emergency preparedness gap score of 95 out of 100, the risk to students, staff, and operational continuity is significant.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant programs — including SVPP, HSGP, and BRIC — are identified funding paths aligned to this project, and Wayne RESA's strategic focus on emergency preparedness signals near-term budget allocation. Acting within the current planning cycle addresses compliance mandates and strengthens continuity of services for 606 students.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a dedicated automated mass-notification system, relying on legacy communication channels that leave staff and students without reliable emergency alerts. This gap, combined with the absence of a published Emergency Operations Plan and no documented NIMS-compliant drills, creates significant compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs aligned with alert and warning systems offer a viable funding path with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, closes a critical safety gap, and supports continuity of services for students and staff.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
WCAG/ADA compliance gaps at the network level create legal exposure and limit equitable access to digital resources for parents, students, and residents. Upcoming website accessibility policy updates at the RESA level signal a defined remediation timeline, elevating both compliance and reputational risk.
The opportunity
Active budget discussions at the RESA level and secondary grant opportunities aligned to website and reporting accessibility create a near-term window for action. Addressing compliance now reduces legal liability, improves public-facing service delivery, and positions the district ahead of anticipated policy enforcement.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has updated its Acceptable Use Policy to include device monitoring, reflecting a maturing but still-developing cybersecurity posture. Vendor integration challenges at the regional network level signal broader IT operational gaps that may affect service continuity and data security for students and staff.
The opportunity
Board-approved operating budgets have designated IT and cybersecurity modernization as a high-priority initiative, signaling near-term funding availability. Secondary grant opportunities may further offset costs, and acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the academy to reduce operational risk and meet evolving compliance expectations.
