Improving Training for School Food Service Workers Act
This bill amends the Child Nutrition Act to require school food service training programs to be scheduled during regular paid work hours whenever possible. If training must occur outside work hours, schools must compensate staff for attending, explain the necessity, and not penalize staff for missing it. Training must also be offered in-person with hands-on components when appropriate. The law directly affects school food service workers and their employers, mandating specific scheduling and compensation practices for required training.
