WILMINGTON, N.C. and MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Alabama State Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs (ALSDE CNP) announces it has selected TITAN as its statewide school nutrition solution. TITAN is the school nutrition industry's only comprehensive management solution that connects districts to state agencies. Through this partnership, TITAN will be available to school nutrition programs across the state at no cost. TITAN, a LINQ Solution, is the only 100% cloud and browser-based school nutrition solution available to the K-12 industry. The fully integrated platform includes robust modules that allow nutrition directors to efficiently serve meals and manage their programs anywhere.
"Historically, school nutrition programs have experienced day-to-day operational challenges that the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic have only magnified," said Krista Endsley, CEO of LINQ. "Operators are working overtime to strike a balance between the need to feed more students while coping with supply chain shortages and staffing issues. We are proud to partner with the state of Alabama to help mitigate these challenges for over 700k of its students."
Alabama Child Nutrition Staff manage and implement United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Child Nutrition Programs operating in Alabama's schools and preschool facilities. Staff interpret federal and state policies and laws, provide technical assistance and complete program audits; allocate USDA donated foods, ensure procurement of high quality and cost-efficient food products, comply with regulations.
"Many families depend on school meals to provide nourishment to their children during the school year and into the summer; the pandemic has forced many schools to scramble due to supply chain issues and staffing shortages," said Angelice Lowe, Food Distribution Administrator with the Alabama Department of Education. "This partnership with TITAN means school districts will have more time to focus on what matters most: feeding our students."
This partnership will allow Alabama school districts to:
- Connect Families to Menus & Payments
- Allow for easy Application Processing
- Manage Menu Planning
- Intelligent Inventory Management; Track ingredients, manage USDA commodities, and intra-district transfers among schools and warehouses
