SFSP Site Supervisor Training

Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning’s, Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is providing the “The Role of Site Supervisor in the Summer Food Service Program” video as a tool to assist organizations in training site supervisors. The video depicts the role of a site supervisor on a typical day at a SFSP site.

As stated in the Administrative Guidance for Sponsors, revised January 2016, training is one of the sponsor’s major administrative responsibilities. A smoothly operating program will require that training be provided by sponsors throughout the duration of the program. A comprehensive training effort, including weekly or biweekly meetings on program requirements, will help to ensure that the monitor, site supervisor, and administrative personnel are performing according to program regulations. Sponsors should attend State agency training and then train both their administrative and site personnel before these staff members undertake their responsibilities. SFSP regulations require that no food service site may operate until personnel at the site have attended at least one of the sponsor’s training sessions.
