*School Food Authority Sponsors whose Food Program Coordinators attended the Oregon School Nutrition Association’s (OSNA) Conference on March 10, 2023 and participated in the CACFP Annual Training Sessions for At-Risk Afterschool Sponsors or Child Care Centers and At-Risk Afterschool Sponsors have already completed Part II and do not need to take the online video version or the quiz.

While only the Food Program Coordinator is required to take the training, the Authorized Representative and other Responsible Principals of the CACFP are also encouraged to take the trainings.

Sponsors must complete all CACFP Annual Training requirements in order to complete renewals for CACFP for Fiscal Year 2024. Those who fail to complete all training requirements may be determined to be seriously deficient.

If you have questions about CACFP Annual Training requirements, reach out to your assigned Child Nutrition Specialist.
