CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- The West Virginia Department of Education has awarded a contract to a Texas company to improve its food service operations at schools across the state.

Houston-based Cybersoft Technologies Inc. said Tuesday that its Primero software suite will be implemented on a centralized state database.

The software will help school cashiers determine when a meal is served whether the student has special nutritional or medical needs, or is eligible for the free and reduced price meal program. It also will allow the transfer of students' eligibility for free and reduce price meals when they move to another county.

State Office of Child Nutrition Executive Director Richard Goff says the software will simplify management of food service operations.

So, you are telling me that we had no company in the state of WV that could do this? Another example of our educational system at work.

All you people that are complaining about tracking lunches should know, as welfare reciepients, that the school will lose funding if it can't track the free lunch program.
