Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · School Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and documented HSEEP-style exercises, creating measurable safety and regulatory gaps. Michigan statute (MCL 380.1308b) mandates biennial EOP review, safety drills, and incident reporting — obligations that remain unmet and expose the school to escalating compliance and safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle presents an active decision window, and grants such as COPS SVPP directly fund school safety notification and preparedness initiatives. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the district provide a streamlined, low-barrier procurement path to close these gaps now.

Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy currently depends on its Student Information System and township infrastructure for emergency communications, creating reliability and reach gaps during critical incidents. Statutory mandates for biennial EOP review, school safety drills, and incident reporting under Michigan law elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 budget planning and a current grant window—including school safety-focused federal funding—create a near-term procurement pathway with potential for limited local match. Consolidating communications into a dedicated, SIS-integrated platform now strengthens compliance posture, improves emergency response, and supports student and staff safety outcomes.

Student Transportation · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy operates an active student bus program, and community concerns about drivers passing stopped school buses signal a clear safety gap. A defined need for fleet monitoring exists, and the academy's strategic plan explicitly identifies Fleet & Transportation as an active initiative requiring action.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle and confirmed cooperative purchasing eligibility provide a near-term, streamlined procurement path. Relevant grant programs may offset costs, and acting now aligns with active budget planning and the academy's stated transportation safety priorities.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy has taken initial steps toward web accessibility, including an accessibility statement and assistive tooling, but lacks documented WCAG or ADA compliance certification. This gap exposes public-facing digital portals to legal liability and reputational risk for the institution and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
Internal strategic alignment and an active FY2026–2027 budget planning cycle create a natural window to close compliance gaps before legal exposure escalates. Proactive investment now reduces remediation costs, supports equitable access for all users, and aligns with current fiscal planning timelines.
