Hello Liz - thank you for supporting CN programs for our nation!

43:45
Liz, thank you so much for this! It’s worth nothing that the COVID-19 relief emergency funds that will help make up 55% of the difference for schools and child care are for March - June 2020. Still work to do for this current school year, here’s hoping it can be included in the next stimulus package.

44:19
YES! Universal Meals! Go Academy!

45:01
Hopefully school nutrition employees especially those who worked next day in March and have not stopped, reach some kind of federal pay?

45:17
Any discussion about regional indexing of income cut-offs that account for cost of living differences?

45:39
Please, where is Elizabeth from?

46:20
While I applaud the EBT program, we are finding it has effected our meal particpation (lowering it), as we are offering free meals for students while they learn vitrually. Anyone have ideas as to how to maximize both benefits?

Super! I am working in my office on this exactly this now.

53:34
Hello Lori, yes, we have heard that lower participation in school meals may be an unintended consequence of P-EBT, we are hoping there is more funding support coming for CN programs in the near future for the months after June 2020.

I use google forms weekly and Facebook posts in various groups are huge, families say "they forget" so it helps keep them reminded! I post 2x a week reminder to sign up then reminder to pick up

01:02:05
Hi everyone! My colleague Angeles Nelson is also here. She's our school meals expert, and can answer questions as well. Also happy to take questions off-line if you get a chance to view the full webinar presentation and it sparks any questions.

01:02:37
Thank you very much Jared and Angeles, thanks for joining us this morning!

01:03:15
How is everyone feeling about tech tools? Would it be helpful for us to set up a webinar about how to use google forms, Facebook live, etc.?

01:03:48
That sounds good!! It’d be nice to know tips and tricks or working smarter ways to do those! :)

01:03:57
I would love that!

01:04:26
Yes please. :)

01:04:57
Hmm, ok, we’ll brainstorm some more! Any specific social media platforms or tech tool requests? What would you guys like to learn more about?

01:05:11
Yes, use them but feel less than competent on many of them!

01:05:18
Google forms

01:05:27
Such a great tool - mental/physical/social health has been more vulnerable for our students during this time! Amazing suggestions for adapting

01:05:39
Are these recipe cards available on the Healthier Generation website?

01:05:54
Looking to do a live (virtual) cooking class, so anything that would be helpful in that regards! :)

That would mean I would have to find the time to track. LOL the last 10 months is a blur

01:10:37
Its day 44 on Blursday of AprMarFebz, right??? lol

01:10:47
I agree! The last 10 months flew by faster than I wanted them to. lol

01:10:50
Same Stephanie! Time means nothing. Gotta get back to some kind of normal in 21.

01:10:53
Tracking is a LOT but I find it can be really centering

01:12:43
Patricia - we can create one to send out in the f/u resources!

01:13:33
On to the next Zoom! thank you all for th great info!

01:13:43
Thanks for including me, everyone! I have to drop off now. Happy to follow up off-line if there are any questions. And Angeles is here to answer your questions as well. Thanks for all the great work you do!

01:13:44
Re: USDA Q&A (thank you, first off, for providing a summary of the Q&A), but for the CACFP attendance record and school meal application update, do you recommend we wait to implement any changes until we hear updates from CDE?

01:14:07
Just make meals universally free. That is the best reimbursement increase we can get

01:14:46
I don't know if a question asked earlier was answered, so forgive me if it was...Liz is a dietitian and the Senior Director of Legislative and Govt Affairs with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

01:15:04
Yes Stephanie, Jared and Angeles -who joined today- are with Nourish CA and they are focus on Universal Free Meals so kids whose families make just above the federal limits ($34K for a family of four) can still access meals. Especially important since there is no immigration status test for school meals, unlike CalFresh.

01:15:10
I agree with Stephanie. Universal free meals is the way to go!

01:15:16
Thank you Jared and Angeles!

01:15:21
Jiwon - YES, I would recommend waiting for the CDE townhall this month for more updates!

01:15:45
Here is Nourish CA factsheet showing the disconnect between federal income limits and the cost of meeting basic needs in CA. https://nourishca.org/publications/fact-sheet/2019-food-insecurity-factsheet/

01:15:47
The guidance on the $0.55 should be out this week, then the state agencies have 30 days to apply for those funds

01:16:05
Yes, Stephanie Bruce, or at least make it easier for many more schools to qualify for CEP and receive funding to make it financially viable.

01:17:09
Thank you so much Liz!!!!

01:18:01
The 26th!

01:19:06
