As we have the opportunity to enjoy holiday treats, exchange gifts, and spend time with family, let us remember those students and families in our corporations who do not have these opportunities. The endless hours of work you dedicate to our youth is a true blessing and makes a lasting impact. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Remember to take care of yourself over the holidays as this is a time to rejuvenate your mind and body.
Keep doing great things for kids!

Food Service Procurement
The NWIESC Child Nutrition program helps school districts through the process of procuring food for their students. This includes providing product selection to meet nutritional regulations per USDA/IDOE guidelines, generating bids and RFPs, and administering vendor agreements to ensure districts are receiving correct items.

Our agreements are open to all ESC Members surrounding our region. By opening up our agreements to other ESC Members, we increase volume which in turn saves districts money! Our agreements have a track record of successful reviews by the State Board of Accounts and NWIESC has been approved by the IDOE as a School Food Authority Cooperative.
Our efficient and reliable bidding system guarantees our schools procure top quality products at the best market prices. Participating in Region 6 allows food service professionals to be more efficient with their time and provides regular networking and USDA Professional Development Credit toward their annual required hours.

Student Coffee Shops
Everyone seems to love coffee and coffee
drinks. Coffee can be sold to high school students only due to caffeine restrictions for grades K-8. All coffee drinks sold to students on the school's campus during the school day must also follow strict guidelines.

Textbook Adoption
The adoption process for instruction and assessment is never easy. It is no longer about textbook adoption cycles that occur on a regular rotation basis. A larger process is in place with most districts as they work to align district goals, state test data, technology integration, shifts in pedagogy, and more with what is purchased. Having clarity at each step of the process is key.

Debbie Snedden
Assistant Superintendent |

Debbie has been with Hanover Community School Corporation for 8 years. She started as the Principal at Jane Ball Elementary and then moved to Hanover Central Middle School. After 5 years of being a Principal, she took her current position as Assistant Superintendent.
In the last year, Debbie has been working on the development of district- wide intervention programming. It started in the middle school and it is her hope to extend it next year. The program is matched with elementary programming to ensure that elementary and middle school programming is consistent. She shared that it is still a work in progress, much more so in the aftermath of COVID. However, they have looked at how to utilize the data to drive instruction and align it within the classroom as well as during designated interventions times.
Debbie’s dream for Hanover is to meet the needs of all students by expanding their programming to meet individual student needs. She would like to see more CTE courses to expose students to the various career opportunities so that they can make post-graduate choices more informed and based on their individual passion.
When asked what Debbie finds the most rewarding about her job, she shared, “Seeing the accomplishments of students. I was the elementary and middle school principal for many of our high school kids, so seeing how they have matured and prepared for their future is incredibly fulfilling.”
In her spare time, Debbie enjoys spending time with her husband, seven kids, and their families. She is also working on finishing her doctorate from ISU.
