USDA staff presented at several educational sessions on topics such as school meals, nutrition education, and summer meals in rural communities. USDA leadership had the opportunity to hear from school food service directors about their priorities and challenges during roundtable sessions. These roundtables were so helpful for USDA to understand the top concerns for these food service leaders as they start a new school year.
