Annual training for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is now open! All lead program administrators are required to complete OSPI training each year. There are additional in-person training opportunities available this year. Read about the training options below for more details and to register.
All Sponsors
All lead program administrators from organizations planning to operate the SFSP in 2020 must watch the Civil Rights* and Procurement recorded trainings annually, prior to program application submission.
New Sponsor/New Administrator Training
This training will take an in-depth look at how to operate the SFSP.
Who Must Attend?
Lead program administrators from organizations that are:
- New SFSP sponsors;
- Returning sponsors with new administrative staff;
- Returning sponsors who did not operate a SFSP in 2019; OR
- Returning sponsors required to attend as part of their corrective action plan.
Before attending the in-person portion of this training, lead program administrators must watch the “Intro to the Summer Food Service Program” recorded training (coming soon).

Online Training Option for Returning Sponsors
Returning sponsors have the option to watch a 3-hour recorded training in place of attending the returning sponsor in-person training. This training will be available on the OSPI CNS website in March. No registration is necessary.
*NOTE: If your organization operates another federal Child Nutrition Program during the school year and the lead program administrator for the SFSP has already completed Civil Rights training within the last year, the Civil Rights training above does not need to be completed. Please maintain documentation of the alternative civil rights training completed.
On Thursday, January 23, 2020, CNS hosted a webinar for sponsors to learn about the new permanent agreement and what to expect during this process.

Information Collection for CACFP
USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) requests information every 3 years. USDA FNS must publish the burden, or time and frequency, of every paperwork requirement for the entire CACFP.
This revises reporting and recordkeeping burden and adds public disclosure burdens that were not captured in previous information requests.
We encourage you to comment on the accuracy of the burden estimates in this request. Your comments provide important feedback that allow for the successful operation and improvement of CACFP. Written comments are due by February 24, 2020.
Submit your comments to the Federal Register here.
