Emergency Operations Plan Development and Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
WAY Michigan lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, a mass/parent notification system, and documented exercises, creating significant NIMS/EOP compliance gaps. These deficiencies elevate operational and safety risk for students and staff, with review status unknown and corrective action already underway.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant programs offer a clear funding path for emergency preparedness initiatives, and an upcoming June 2026 budget approval creates a near-term procurement window. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens continuity of safe educational services.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
WAY Michigan, an online public charter school, has no identifiable mass or parent notification system in place, creating a critical gap in emergency communication. This absence is a documented component of broader emergency preparedness deficiencies, elevating compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A Corrective Action Plan deadline and upcoming June 2026 budget approval create a defined procurement window to address this gap. FEMA grant programs offer viable funding pathways, and acting within the current cycle supports compliance, strengthens emergency readiness, and protects the school community.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
WAY Michigan faces an explicit ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance mandate for its public-facing website with no remediation plan currently in place. A Corrective Action Plan is due May 16, 2026, creating a hard deadline and elevating legal, reputational, and equity risk for students and families.
The opportunity
The May 2026 CAP deadline and June 2026 budget approval window create a narrow, time-sensitive procurement opportunity. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in place, supporting a streamlined path to compliance that protects public trust and equitable access to educational services.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
This public charter school has identified active gaps in password management and endpoint/device security, with no confirmed solutions currently in place. Early-stage IT budget planning signals organizational awareness of risk, but unaddressed vulnerabilities expose staff, student data, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The June 2026 budget approval cycle and improved fund balance create a near-term procurement window, with JAG grant eligibility offering a potential funding pathway. Acting now aligns with the school's stated IT modernization priorities and reduces exposure before the next fiscal year.
