This is a training intended for new and aspiring school nutrition program directors with 
five years' or less experience. Lessons provide an overview of school nutrition programs, define the role and responsibilities of a director, and review the relationship between local policies and State/Federal regulations. The course has been developed to encourage open-group discussion so participants can be actively involved in learning the skills and knowledge needed for the daily operation of school nutrition programs. Although geared to participants with five years' or fewer experience, the audience may include more experienced school nutrition professionals, college students, State agency personnel, and others affiliated with school nutrition programs.
