Emergency Operations Plan Update & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an overdue EOP review, undefined safety liaison roles, and fragmented notification systems. Michigan state mandates and NIMS compliance requirements create urgent remediation pressure, elevating risk for students, staff, and the broader school community.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines fall within the next 90 days, and grant funding through school safety and homeland security programs is currently available to offset costs. Acting now within the approved FY2026–2027 budget cycle positions the academy to close critical gaps and meet state and federal mandates.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy operates a fragmented emergency notification environment — with separate systems functioning at the county and district levels — leaving a critical gap in unified, school-level emergency communication. Overdue EOP reviews, unclear safety liaison roles, and Michigan EOP and NIMS compliance mandates elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Compliance deadlines and a critical emergency preparedness gap create immediate urgency for consolidation. SVPP and HSGP funding pathways are available, cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement, and the approved FY2026–2027 budget signals an active spending window to act now.
Reinstating Safe Bus Operations with Fleet Telematics
Fleet Safety · Student Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The academy is reinstating school bus service as a funded, high-priority initiative, but current operations lack documented dashcam and telematics systems. This creates measurable exposure to collision liability claims, recordkeeping gaps, and student safety risks.
The opportunity
With bus service reinstatement already approved and funded, procurement can move quickly—especially through cooperative purchasing vehicles that reduce administrative burden. Grant programs aligned with school safety and vehicle security offer additional cost offsets within the current spending window.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy's public-facing digital properties, currently built on WordPress, may not meet ADA and web accessibility compliance standards, exposing the institution to legal and regulatory risk. Unresolved gaps in accessible design can limit equitable access for students, families, and community members with disabilities.
The opportunity
With the 2026–2027 budget approved and an active spending window underway, there is a near-term opportunity to remediate accessibility gaps before compliance exposure escalates. Cooperative procurement vehicles may reduce cost and accelerate timelines, aligning remediation with current fiscal planning cycles.

IT Modernization · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy has an approved, ESSER III-funded initiative to expand technology across the school, representing a significant uplift from its current annual IT spend. Without structured endpoint management, increased devices introduce security and operational risks that can disrupt learning continuity.
The opportunity
ESSER III funds are time-bound, creating an active and defined procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures devices are deployed, secured, and managed before funds expire, maximizing the return on this public investment.
