EOP Modernization and School Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately six years old, surpassing standard review cycles, with no documented HSEEP-style exercises or reliable mass notification systems. State law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates biennial EOP reviews and annual drills, creating direct compliance exposure compounded by recent severe weather declarations.
The opportunity
Active RFP activity in May 2026 and June budget hearings create immediate decision windows, while federal grant programs explicitly aligned to school emergency management provide strong funding pathways. A new school leader and increased per-pupil funding signal readiness to advance preparedness initiatives in the current fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Upgrade for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy's current mass notification capability is critically limited, reducing its ability to alert staff and students during emergencies. This gap conflicts with state-mandated emergency communication standards, biennial EOP review requirements under MCL 380.1308b, and annual drill compliance obligations.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs explicitly aligned with school alert systems and emergency preparedness provide a viable funding pathway with limited local match required. With budget hearings approaching in June and active procurement underway, this fiscal window is well-positioned to advance compliance, close preparedness gaps, and protect students and staff.
Fleet Telematics & Student Transportation Safety
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The academy operates student transportation without adequate visibility into driver behavior or incident data, creating an information gap that limits accountability and safety oversight. Dash camera and telematics solutions have been identified as a beneficial fit to address this gap under a funded strategic initiative.
The opportunity
Student transportation is an active, funded priority within the academy's School Improvement Plan, and cooperative purchasing availability can streamline procurement ahead of upcoming budget hearings. Addressing fleet visibility now supports driver accountability, reduces incident risk, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · Web Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The academy's document-heavy public site and split ed-tech ecosystem—anchored by Chromebooks—expose gaps in identity management and document accessibility. Forthcoming board policy updates tied to website accessibility standards signal an emerging compliance requirement alongside an active, funded IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative.
The opportunity
Active budget allocation for IT and cybersecurity modernization, combined with an approaching board policy compliance deadline, creates a clear window to consolidate identity tools and remediate accessibility gaps. Acting within the current modernization cycle aligns spending with funded priorities and reduces compounding compliance and operational risk.
