ABCs of School Nutrition

To uphold the highest standards in school nutrition, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) requires all school nutrition professionals to complete annual training to meet USDA Professional Standards. These standards ensure school nutrition staff have the knowledge, training, and tools to plan, prepare, and procure nutritious, safe, and enjoyable school meals.

 

University of Illinois Extension has partnered with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) to offer professional development training for school nutrition professionals. 

 

Registration is from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. The training will start promptly at 8:00 a.m. and last until 3:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there!

 

This training will provide six hours of USDA Professional Standards credits. There is no charge for this training; however, pre-registration is required.
