This course is designed to assist personnel in child nutrition programs to effectively establish and implement an effective counting and claiming system, acceptable meal collection procedures, quality assurance measures, financial responsibilities, and compliance. Lunch will be provided. Summer workshops are a valuable tool for continuing education for district staff operating child nutrition programs. There are no restrictions on attendance for district employed staff. Each district will be permitted to take one food service management company (FSMC) employee, who may attend these sessions if accompanied by the district staff person responsible for contract management and oversight. FSMC attendees must pay a participation fee to attend and may not charge the cost to the nonprofit school lunch program or use federal nutrition funds for the expense.
