2009/2010 and 2010/2011 Key Efforts
Quarterly Bond Review Committee meetings continue to be conducted with all relevant parties to ensure projects continue to be well planned and that they come in on time and under budget.
We continue the development of robust technology infrastructure to support TCAPS’ critical systems and networks (wireless, fiber optic and data center).
The feasibility of a food-processing center is being studied. It could provide a cost-effective means for the district to increase its offering of freshly grown local fruits and vegetables.
Student breakfast meal program participation has increased.
The universal breakfast program was expanded and is now in place at three elementary schools.
Additional food service initiatives are being developed or expanded, including free fruit and vegetable snacks and a committee to review district nutritional standards.
We have incorporated one point of contact for our custodial supplies and training.
The Transportation Policy was revised and implemented. The communication strategy was updated and proved to be more effective than past efforts. Routes were redesigned and work continues on this part of the process to become more efficient and effective.
We have explored the expansion of the special education transportation consortium to include non-center based programs.
