Typically, Child Nutrition Programs are run by a state agency such as a State Department of Education. The state agency holds the master agreement with USDA to serve as the contact for all issues related to the administration and operation of the Child Nutrition Programs in that state. Often, the state agency operates all programs

• National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
• Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)
• Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
• Special Milk Program
• Food Distribution Program

Providing mandatory training to returning and new sponsors is both expensive and time consuming. Brighton’s online training and tracking system enables states to deliver the compliance training online and helps to automate the entire training program.
