Summary
Business and operations staff told the Logansport board that bond-funded concrete work will start this week, the district completed a phone-system migration over spring break, and nutrition staff served tens of thousands more meals through CEP and piloted a high‑use mobile breakfast cart.
District business and operations staff reported multiple operational updates at the April 13 Logansport Community Sch Corp meeting, including planned concrete work funded by a recent bond sale, software and HR‑portal pilots, a completed phone‑system migration, and substantial gains in school‑meal service under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
Business staff said a concrete replacement project at a variable entrance will start this week and will be paid for with geo bond funds approved in the district’s most recent bond sale. The administration also described a state budgeting gateway rollout that will require staff training and an employee‑hub pilot planned for summer to streamline human‑resources and payroll processes.
Technology staff (identified in the meeting as Mr. Foner) reported that computers for first, fifth and ninth grades have been ordered and on‑site for the refresh cycle, and that the district successfully migrated to a new phone system over spring break.
Nutrition and student‑services staff reported that, comparing August–March year‑over‑year, the district served about 28,586 more breakfasts and about 36,184 more lunches under the CEP, and that a high‑school mobile breakfast cart served 1,865 breakfasts in its first month of operation; a similar cart was awarded for the junior high next year. Staff said the increased meals required adding a small number of staff but that CEP reimbursement covered the service.
Operations and safety staff also described a reunification drill conducted with emergency management partners simulating a chlorine gas leak; the exercise evacuated about 100 students to Ivy Tech and identified lessons learned for larger drills.
Board members asked clarifying questions about funding sources and operational impacts; administration said reimbursements cover meal costs and that software and facilities projects are in active implementation phases.
