Our live Webinar series is returning tomorrow, Wednesday, August 22- and we’ll start off tomorrow’s webinar by learning from two very different districts in size as they discuss how they have chosen to utilize USDA’s Unpaid Meal Charge Guidance. You don’t want to miss this one so register NOW! Each SFA operating the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and/or School Breakfast Program (SBP) must have a written unpaid meal charge policy- but what should it include? This webinar will provide an overview of the key takeaways from the USDA Unpaid Meal Charge Guidance, along with district examples of how they have chosen to implement their own policies. Then, new recipes like Sweet Heat Salsa, Savory Refried Beans and tons more will be presented on the Best of #ANC18: Creative Recipes Using USDA Foods webinar.
