Summary
This is a reinstatement of an expired information collection request. Section 306 of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) requires Professional Standards for state and local school district nutrition professionals. In addition to hiring standards, mandatory annual training is required for all individuals involved in preparing school meals. To meet the training requirements and assist in locating and keeping track of training, the USDA FNA's web-based application tool with a SQL-server database is available to local educational agencies and school food authorities through the FNA public website. While training requirements are mandatory, using the USDA PSTTT to track the training is voluntary. State and local school district nutrition professionals can use any method to track and manage their training. These resources facilitate compliance with HHFKA requirements and are provided at no cost to the state, district, or school nutrition professionals.
