We are pleased to offer one final session of the Introduction to School Nutrition Program Administration (ISNPA) Training. This three-day in-person training is intended to orient newly-hired school nutrition directors and managers to the School Nutrition Programs (SNPs) and to provide resources for program implementation.
Course Description
This training course provides basic information about the administration of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Along with learning about federal and state regulations, attendees will also receive an overview of SNP management components and resources. Additionally, participants will have an opportunity to network with fellow school nutrition leaders in a learning environment to share tips, discuss challenges, and identify successful strategies for operating the SNPs.
Topics will include:
- Federal and state regulations
- Procurement requirements

- Meal eligibility

Priority registration will be granted to directors and managers with less than two years’ experience in their current position.
