School Emergency Operations Plan Compliance Initiative
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy has no publicly posted school-level EOP and no documented emergency exercises, creating critical gaps under MCL 380.1308b and NIMS mandates. These compliance deficiencies directly threaten federal funding eligibility and leave students and staff without a tested emergency response framework.
The opportunity
Grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC explicitly fund public alert, warning, and preparedness initiatives, offering a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. Aligning action with the current board meeting schedule and FY budget cycle positions the academy to close compliance gaps and protect both students and federal funding streams.
School-Level Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently lacks a school-level mass notification system, relying on a county-level alert platform that does not provide direct, timely communication to staff, students, and families during emergencies. This gap creates meaningful compliance risk under MCL 380.1308b and NIMS requirements, and limits the academy's ability to respond effectively to on-site incidents.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs explicitly fund public alert and warning systems, offering a direct and accessible funding path for this project. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses both compliance mandates and a critical safety gap, with no existing solution creating a clear, immediate case for investment.
Fleet Safety & Student Transportation Expansion
Fleet Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy has board-approved funding to procure two 10-passenger vans, creating an immediate need for fleet tracking and transportation safety oversight. Without structured fleet management, student safety, vehicle accountability, and operational visibility remain at risk during daily transport operations.
The opportunity
With procurement funding already approved and informal quote thresholds enabling faster purchasing, this initiative can move quickly through established cooperative procurement channels. Acting within the current budget cycle ensures student safety infrastructure keeps pace with the academy's planned transportation expansion.

IT Modernization · Student Data Security
High Priority
About this project
The academy operates a student device program with an undocumented endpoint management posture, creating potential gaps in lifecycle oversight, security monitoring, and policy enforcement. Without structured endpoint management, devices supporting student learning may be exposed to unmitigated risk and inconsistent compliance controls.
The opportunity
Established cooperative purchasing channels available to Michigan public entities can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden within the current budget cycle. Addressing endpoint management now supports responsible stewardship of student technology investments and positions the academy for scalable, secure device operations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces unresolved WCAG/ADA compliance obligations across its web presence and digital documents, with gaps spanning WordPress and Google Forms/Drive platforms. Failure to remediate creates legal exposure and restricts equitable access for students, families, and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
ADA/WCAG compliance is a recurring obligation, making phased remediation aligned with the annual budget cycle a fiscally responsible approach. Addressing gaps now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the academy ahead of potential audit or complaint-driven enforcement.
