2024 SFSP Training Options
Our training opportunities for 2024 reflect the results of the survey response received last fall. Thank you to everyone who responded! Many of you noted how difficult it is to come to a training due to lack of staffing. So, based on last year’s attendance at the trainings and taking this into consideration, we have selected two locations, Stevens Point and Rice Lake, for the Pop-ups in 2024. And the Full Day Training will be held in Madison. We plan to rotate the Pop-ups to different locations from year to year and will offer more online training, when needed.
Full Day Training: This full day group training will provide a comprehensive review of the SFSP administrative and operational requirements. Topics covered will include site eligibility, meal service requirements, production planning, procurement, site training and monitoring, civil rights requirements, meal counting, claiming, and financial management. This training is for new sponsors, returning sponsors with new administrative staff and any other sponsor personnel that that would like a complete refresher.
