Are you a School Nutrition Director?
Directors are the individuals responsible for the operation of school nutrition programs for all schools under the LEA. This is the individual who plans, administers, implements, monitors, and evaluates all aspects of the school nutrition program. Duties generally include: sanitation, food safety, employee safety, nutrition and menu planning, food production, facility layout and design, equipment selection, procurement, financial management, record keeping, program accountability, marketing, customer service, nutrition education, general management, personnel management and computer technology.
The person performing the majority of these duties must complete 12 training hours each year. If director duties are performed by a staff member without the title of Director, that staff member for purposes of Professional Standards, must be recognized by the LEA as performing Director duties and must comply with Professional Standards Director training requirements
