Summary
Improving School Nutrition Training Act
This bill amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to add requirements regarding the availability of training that the Department of Agriculture provides under current law for local food service personnel.
The training must be scheduled primarily during paid working hours, offered in-person when appropriate, and incorporate hands-on training techniques.
If the training is scheduled outside of working hours, food service personnel must be informed about the necessity of scheduling the program and compensated for attending the program. Personnel may not be penalized for failing to attend a program outside of working hours.
