A MESSAGE FROM THE 2025-2026 FSNA President
Hi FSNA Members! I hope each of you had a well- deserved Holiday Break and are ready to tackle the second half of the school year. For those of you that attended our “Voices At The Table” in January, it was a successful event that brought great networking and dialogue and an opportunity to meet with our legislators to discuss important issues affecting our School Nutrition
Programs. Issues discussed included: Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) HR 1 – Proposed Federal Changes that would require State cost-sharing due to Florida’s high error rate* • SNAP enrollment may significantly decrease. • Declining SNAP participation plus Reduced CEP percentages could result
in financial instability. New Dietary Guidelines & Scratch Cooking • Florida supports the updated Dietary Guidelines, yet Scratch Cooking presents challenges such as
school kitchen equipment makeovers, labor, and culinary training. These areas require more funding and realistic implementation timelines
