PolicyStat

This section provides a list of recently issued policy documents as well as a link to PolicyStat - an online policy management system that will allow CACFP and Happy Helpings (Summer Food Service Program) organizations and DECAL staff to navigate, locate, and access Nutrition policy documents more quickly. The system also allows online collaboration and workflows that will make drafting, editing, and approving policy documents more efficient for Nutrition Services employees. PolicyStat is now available for public use.

PolicyStat works like any other search engine. It is organized so that CACFP and Happy Helpings organizations can search and/or sort a policy or policy memorandum by a keyword, policy number, title, date, area, or program. The system houses both numbered policies and policy memoranda, similar to the format currently on DECAL’s website. 

Over the next several months, various training resources will be offered on how to navigate the system. Until then, CACFP and Happy Helpings organizations are encouraged to become familiar with the system. To access PolicyStat, please click the link below.

Note: As Nutrition Services works to perfect PolicyStat, please continue to use the current Policy and Memos links on the DECAL web site as your main resource for all Happy Helpings and CACFP related policies and memoranda.
