USDA team training meals

the long version

Healthy school meals training has been designed to support the three major training objectives of USDA's Team Nutrition Strategy plan for training and technical assistance to achieve healthy school meals: implement the final rule of June 13, 1995, provide healthy school meals, and provide state agency technical assistance. The training covers several of the recommended topic areas and content of the Guidelines for training food service professionals to achieve healthy school meals, which serve as a guide for organizing and implementing Team Nutrition "change-driven" training. The recommended topics for food service directors and supervisors are: nutrition requirements, menu planning for school meals, procurement, and financial management. The first three of these topics are covered in this training.
