Improving Training for School Food Service Workers Act of 2023

This bill requires schools to provide free, in-person training for food service workers during paid working hours, with hands-on learning components. If training must occur outside regular hours, schools must consult staff on scheduling, pay them at their regular rate (including overtime), and cannot penalize them for attendance. It directly affects school food service workers and their employers under the Child Nutrition Act. The law does not override existing labor protections but mandates specific scheduling and compensation rules for training programs.
