Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Preparedness
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has no documented exercises, and faces direct compliance mandates under Michigan's Emergency Management Act (PA 390). These gaps create significant legal exposure and leave students and staff without a tested emergency response framework.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly supports emergency communications and preparedness initiatives, offering a viable funding path with limited local match. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens campus safety, and aligns with current grant cycles before the fiscal window closes.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently lacks a modern mass-notification platform, relying solely on anonymous tip reporting, leaving staff, students, and families without reliable rapid communication during incidents. This gap directly conflicts with Michigan Emergency Management Act (PA 390) mandates requiring local emergency operations plans and periodic review, elevating compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly supports mass-notification and emergency communications systems, creating a viable funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses documented compliance mandates, closes critical preparedness gaps, and strengthens safety outcomes for students and staff.
Homeland Security Grant Program
Discuss this project →Strengthen Student Transportation Safety with Fleet Telematics
Student Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently operates student transportation routes without telematics systems or dash cameras, creating measurable liability exposure and settlement risk. This gap in real-time vehicle oversight undermines the school's duty of care for students during transit and leaves incidents without objective documentation.
The opportunity
JAG and TEP grant programs identify vehicle and fleet-related equipment as eligible expenditures, and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces liability risk, strengthens student safety outcomes, and aligns spending with available funding pathways.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Equity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy's website lacks a published WCAG accessibility statement, creating inequitable access for users with disabilities and potential legal exposure. Existing MDE Partnership Agreement obligations may extend accountability to digital properties, adding reporting and remediation pressure.
The opportunity
The MDE Partnership Agreement's reporting obligations may accelerate required remediation timelines, making early action preferable to reactive compliance. Addressing this gap now reduces legal and reputational risk while improving equitable digital access for all students and families.
