Emergency Operations Plan Development and Biennial Review
Emergency Management · School Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Michigan Online School lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, placing it out of compliance with M.C.L. 380.1308a since 2020, with biennial reviews also overdue. Operational dependence on a third-party learning platform that recently experienced a cyberattack further elevates risk to student continuity and institutional resilience.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2026 General Fund budget signals an active procurement window, and multiple state and federal grant programs explicitly fund school safety and emergency management initiatives. Addressing this overdue mandate now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens continuity planning, and positions the school to leverage available public funding.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The school currently lacks a dedicated mass-notification platform, relying on informal SMS-based outreach with no multi-channel redundancy for emergencies. A recent cyberattack on the school's LMS exposed the operational risk of depending on third-party platforms for critical communications to students, staff, and families.
The opportunity
Grant programs including HSGP and BRIC explicitly fund alert and warning systems, offering direct funding paths with limited local match required. A recently approved fiscal-year budget and access to cooperative purchasing provide strong timing signals for near-term procurement that advances safety, compliance, and community resilience.
Cybersecurity & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · K-12 IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school faces mandated cybersecurity and password control compliance requirements, with a recent board-approved change to its Cyber Liability insurance deductible signaling heightened risk awareness. Operational reliance on a third-party LMS that experienced a recent cyberattack exposes credential and access management vulnerabilities across Google Workspace and Chromebook environments.
The opportunity
An approved FY2026 budget and confirmed funding paths through school safety and homeland security grant programs create a clear window to act. Addressing credential and access management gaps now reduces insurance exposure, strengthens compliance posture, and protects student and staff data ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The school lacks a public WCAG compliance statement, creating legal exposure and inequitable access risk for students and families. Without an active remediation plan, this unaddressed gap leaves the district vulnerable to complaints, audits, and potential civil rights findings.
The opportunity
Digital equity mandates and broader accessibility compliance requirements create ongoing pressure to act, and this work may align with existing state or federal funding streams supporting equitable access. Addressing the gap proactively reduces legal risk and demonstrates public accountability ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.
