Overview
Civil Rights Training
USDA requires civil rights training on an annual basis for all who interact with the Child Nutrition Programs participants. The training outlines specific civil rights regulations that govern these programs. The training informs administrators of these programs receiving Federal financial assistance of their rights and responsibilities.
Each SFA must maintain documentation of the training and an attendance record of participants that attended.
