Page 70 - Technology Plan for School Years 2017 to 2021

Use of this technology supports the staff’s need to efficiently and effectively operate the
School Food Service program; including the processing of meal benefit applications, housing
the student database needed for program operations, the consolidation and submission of
reimbursement claims, the strategic planning and documentation for the department,
communication within and outside the District, and menu production, among other
applications.

Within the next five years, School Food Service will need to upgrade all computers and
touchscreens for the department. The team will be expanding the vending machine program,
and implementing digital menu boards District-wide. Additionally, they will be expanding the
breakfast cart program and beginning a safety program with digital thermometers. School
Food Service will continue to need support from IT with regard to improved wireless
capability, standard network capability, server support, SharePoint, TRIRIGA and assistance
with developing web-based solutions for operational needs, to name a few.
