Description of Work

The Mission Of The Department Of Public Instruction

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) is charged with implementing the state's public school laws for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade public schools at the direction of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and State Board of Education.

The North Carolina Department of Public Instructionis seeking applicants for a Business Systems Analyst II (Working Title: Business Systems Analyst) for the Data and Program Analysis Section with the Office of School Nutrition and Auxiliary Services.

The Office of School Nutrition and Auxiliary Services (OSN) is responsible for providing leadership and direction for the infrastructure that supports the school based Federal food assistance programs administered by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). Such leadership, direction, and accountability are mandated by Federal regulations, policy and guidance, State General Statutes, policies of the State Board of Education and directives and procedures established through Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The organizational unit consists of five (5) distinct areas including (1) the Office of the Senior Director, (2) Data and Program Analysis Section (to include the School Nutrition Technology System), (3) the Compliance and Monitoring Section, (4) the Technical Assistance and Support Section, and (5) the Outreach and Promotion Section.

The primary purpose of these organizational units is the efficient, effective, accountable and timely operation of the School Nutrition programs throughout the State’s Public School Units (PSUs) and in other eligible sub-recipients organizations where students participate in an educational program recognized by the State.

The OSN oversees seven (7) Federally assisted School Nutrition Programs and several non-discretionary Federal grants in public, non-public, residential and Federal schools as well as non-profit and private sub-recipient agencies and institutions. The OSN manages the largest federally assisted program in the NCDPI and oversees over $900 Million in Federal, State and local funds annually. The OSN is responsible for Statewide technical assistance, on-site training and consultation, monitoring and compliance, professional development and continuous program improvements for all sub-recipient agencies. The work of the OSN is accomplished in accordance with Federal and State legislation that directs the administration and operation of the statewide programs, initiatives and related services that support local School Nutrition units. The OSN is a collaborator in the achievement of key strategic goals of the State Board of Education and the policy priorities and directives of the Office of the Superintendent. The strategic priorities of timeliness, innovation, accountability, and exemplary service/support inform and inspire the work of the OSN.

Ultimately, the purpose of the organizational unit is to facilitate and oversee the operation of School Nutrition Programs at the local level while supporting the nutritional, operational, and financial success of these programs among the sub-recipients. The OSN is committed to the achievement and sustainability of overall program integrity and viability as required by the State/Federal Agreement between the NC Department of Public Instruction and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

This position is responsible for data management, data collection and data analytics. The position will also be directly involved in the preparation of reports to various stakeholders, including but not limited to both the US and NC Department of Agriculture, the NC General Assembly, the State Board of Education, and other groups as needed to establish a transparent and inclusive approach to program administration and oversight. This position is also responsible for supporting the functionality, enhancement, modification, testing, production oversight, training and overall efficient and effective use of the School Nutrition Technology System. An understanding of complex analytical and data management activities associated with the utilization of the OSN’s technology applications and systems is essential as is a basic understanding and command of School Nutrition operations at the State, Federal and local levels.

The position is responsible for other duties as assigned and may require occasional overnight travel.
