Additional Evaluator Comments:
FNS Professional Standards Training Tracker Tool (PSTTT) is used to track Professional Standards (PS) requirement set forth by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010 requires PS for state and local school district nutrition professionals. In addition to hiring standards, mandatory annual training will be required for all individuals involved in preparing school meals. HHFKA details the number of required professional development hours that school nutrition professionals are required to receive on an annual basis. A wide range of school nutrition and meal service professional staff uses the PSTTT. Within each school, there may be some differences in terms of primary system users – individuals in a managerial role will have the ability to create profiles for their staff members if their staff members do not have access to a computer. The PSTTT will assist state agencies to record, track, and manage the required training hours in four major areas (Nutrition, Operations, Administration, and Communications & Marketing) to meet the requirements of the HHFKA Professional Standards Rule. The application will specify that users enter a business email address. PSTTT will be accessible through FNS’ website (Internet) and mobile phone. The school nutrition professionals will have to obtain eAuthentication account to access the tool. The eAuth sits on the front-end .NET technology and the back-end database is a SQL Server database. The school nutrition professional will hit the site then re-directed to the eAuth site to log in. eAuth will verify permissions to enter the site and then re-direct them back to PSTTT, which is hosted at Digital Infrastructure Services Center (DISC).
Evaluator Recommendations:
- Privacy Office approves PTA and PIA.
