Emergency Operations Plan Compliance by July 2026
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The academy lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented formal exercises or after-action reviews. Michigan law (MCL 380.1308b) mandates a compliant EOP review by July 2026, creating critical compliance exposure and operational risk to students and staff.
The opportunity
The July 2026 statutory deadline and June board budget hearings create a favorable near-term procurement window. Improved financial capacity — including deficit elimination and a renewed special education millage — alongside eligible federal grant funding (HSGP, BRIC) supports a fiscally responsible path to compliance.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Student Safety
High Priority
About this project
The academy relies on informal channels—email and TV postings—with documented phone system issues and no centralized alerting platform, creating fragmented, unreliable emergency communications. This gap elevates safety risk for students, staff, and families while leaving the institution out of compliance with Michigan's EOP review mandate (MCL 380.1308b) ahead of the July 2026 deadline.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 explicitly cover public alert and mass-notification systems, offering a clear, time-sensitive funding path with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with board budget hearings, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and the state EOP compliance deadline—reducing risk while protecting students and staff.
Strengthen Cybersecurity and Web Accessibility Compliance
Cybersecurity · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The academy has identified gaps in cybersecurity posture and web accessibility, both of which carry compliance and equity risks for the small student population served. Without remediation, these gaps may expose the institution to regulatory findings and limit equitable access to digital resources.
The opportunity
Recent budget improvements, including deficit elimination and increased per-pupil funding, have freed operational capacity that could be directed toward these initiatives. Addressing cybersecurity and accessibility gaps now supports compliance, protects students, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
