Professional Standards for School Nutrition Professionals

New directors, hired on or after July 1, 2015, are required to meet minimum education and work experience standards. Existing directors hired prior to July 1, 2015 are grandfathered in. 

The USDA established minimum annual training requirements for school nutrition professionals who manage and operate the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. All training must be tracked on a training tracker with the key area and learning objective codes.
