Conference travel and professional development can be one of the first things districts struggle to fund, especially when budgets are tight.
But getting your team to the School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference can make a real difference. ANC gives school nutrition professionals the chance to learn from other districts, see what’s new in the industry, build relationships, and bring fresh ideas back home to their programs. 🍎🏫
That’s one of the reasons Cool School Cafe is such a valuable resource for school districts.
Through Cool School Points, districts may be able to help cover the cost of attending ANC, making it easier to invest in staff development without putting additional pressure on the budget.
Last year, nearly 230 child nutrition professionals attended ANC using Cool School Points. That means more teams had access to training, networking, product education, and the kind of inspiration that helps move school meal programs forward.
If your district is planning for ANC 2026, now is a great time to review your Cool School Points and see how they can help support your team’s attendance.
Invest in your people. Invest in professional development. Invest in the future of school meals. 💪
