Emergency Operations Plan Development & Management
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
Dearborn Academy lacks a detailed Emergency Operations Plan, a named Emergency Management Coordinator, and documented after-action reviews, creating measurable compliance and safety risk. Explicit mandates to maintain and review emergency preparedness documentation remain unmet, elevating regulatory exposure for students and staff.
The opportunity
An active FY 2026–2027 procurement planning window and multiple applicable grant programs provide a clear, near-term funding path with limited local match required. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens campus safety, and aligns with the school's existing emergency management budget commitment.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy's current notification tools lack the depth required for comprehensive emergency operations, and no detailed Emergency Operations Plan or named coordinator is in place. This gap creates compliance exposure under emergency preparedness mandates and elevates risk to students and staff during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Active FY 2026–2027 budget planning and applicable emergency preparedness grant programs create a timely window to close notification and EOP gaps. Addressing this now supports compliance, strengthens incident response, and leverages cooperative purchasing to simplify procurement.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy faces a non-discretionary compliance mandate under WCAG/ADA standards for public-facing digital accessibility, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for students, families, and staff. Unresolved gaps elevate risk of complaints, enforcement action, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 planning window creates a timely entry point to address this mandate before the next budget cycle closes. Cooperative purchasing options available to Michigan public entities can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The academy's Chromebook program and digital learning platforms create a distributed endpoint environment with identified cybersecurity gaps. Without structured endpoint management and security controls, student data, staff systems, and instructional continuity face elevated risk.
The opportunity
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) provides an eligible funding pathway for endpoint protection initiatives, aligning with the current budget planning window for FY 2026–2027. Acting within this cycle supports compliance, reduces operational risk, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.
