Operational departments and activities serve and support all
staff and students across the district. While many procedures
and practices are internal and unseen by school-based
customers, others clearly and directly impact all DPS staff,
students, families, and the community. Technology is a necessary
presence in both classrooms and district business
offices.
While today’s global environment revolves around technological innovation, it also boasts prevalence in “green” practices which protect the environment while also conserving dwindling financial resources. Additionally, in support of a national movement to improve the health of children and families, school systems are looking to provide more nutritional meals to students.
Every efficiency gained in system business practices also allows resources to be focused on classroom and learning environments. In challenging times of limited resources, it is imperative to shift toward embracing contemporary business concepts in order to fulfill both new and traditional industry expectations.
To that end, DPS must ensure
optimal operations by identifying available resources and
defining how they will be consumed. DPS will provide more
nutritional meal offerings to students and staff in order to
support healthy learners with positive lifelong habits.
Moreover, DPS commits to continuously examine national business
practices across industries to develop and sustain a framework
in which the district will thrive as an effective, efficient,
environmentally- and socially-conscious organization.
