After one key area badge is earned, school nutrition staff are eligible for achievement badges:

Information about how to award badges and honor staff may be found in The Guide to Professional Standards for School Nutrition Programs. It is a central resource that comprehensively outlines the USDA Professional Standards requirements for state and local school nutrition program professionals who manage and operate the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).

This resource supports school nutrition professionals in ensuring they have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to assure the success of the NSLP and SBP.
