The mission of the Warren County School District is to educationally empower all students to think critically and solve problems through a rigorous curriculum that will provide them with the skills necessary to graduate and pursue a career of their interest.

To promote student growth and achievement, an effective school board models responsible governance and leadership by: (1) interacting with school officials in other districts and using resources provided by organizations and agencies committed to effective governance and management of public schools, and (2) complying with board policy and all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and an effective School Board advocates for a thorough and efficient system of public education by maintaining legislative awareness and communicating with members of local, state and federal legislative bodies.

Administration is recommending that the NSLP lunch prices be raised from $2.00 to $2.15 for Elementary lunches and from $2.15 to $2.25 for Secondary lunches.

The administration proposes that the Warren County School District again serve as the sponsor for the Summer Food Service Program in 2014, running open sites at both Warren Area Elementary Center and Youngsville Elementary Middle School. The 2013 Summer Food Service Program with a positive balance, again due to higher participation numbers at WAEC. In light of summer programming offered at both locations, the district will be offering both a breakfast and lunch meal service. As open sites, any school-aged child may receive a meal at no cost to themselves. The administration will be monitoring meal participation numbers, and will be ready to make alterations to the meal programs should they prove necessary.

5. Items Removed for Separate Action

Computers used in cafeterias around the district are in need of a hardware refresh. Many of these computers are reaching 10 years of age, with expired warranties, and dated hardware. The benefits of the upgrade are summarized below: Replacement of the outdated “push button” Point of Sale Terminals with touch screen monitors. - Increases line speed by reducing the time it takes to complete a transaction. - The new monitors will provide a photo of the customer which improves accuracy and prevents misuse of a student’s account by someone else. - Food allergy alerts, low balance warnings and other customer related messages displayed in bold print. - Cashiers can enter their daily deposits at their own workstation for better accountability. - Allows for the addition of a variety of input devices such as Keypads for PIN numbers, Finger Scanners, Bar Code Scanners, etc. for positive identification of a customer. Addition of Numeric Key Pads for students to enter their PIN number. - Increases line speed as many cashiers currently have to enter these numbers themselves. - Helps prevent misuse of a student’s account by someone else.

Heartland School Solutions, the manufacturer of the district’s current cafeteria financial software have stopped support for the version currently in use at the Warren County School District. In order to stay compliant and to be eligible for support, we must upgrade our software platform from version 2.6.1 to 3.11.0. Other benefits to the district will be additional reports and user features to address accountability for MyLunchMoney.com, meal application processing and Direct Certification processing. This upgrade will also allow the district to meet reporting requirements.
