If you do not see your agency on the list above, then the training requirement has not been met! At least one staff person from each sponsoring agency must take this training. The CACFP Team has created an easy way to complete this Civil Rights requirement.

Step 1: Watch the 30-Minute Civil Rights Webinar: https://youtu.be/cagY58-zCS4?si=lOx-MPVJSLJBE8QE
Step 2: Complete the 2024 Civil Rights Quiz: https://forms.office.com/g/UMbCBv4Ayj

The "2024 Civil Rights Quiz" documents your Sponsoring Agency/Institution's successful completion of the Civil Rights Training. Please complete the Civil Rights Training AND quiz no later than May 1, 2024. There will be no certificate of completion provided due to the quiz software tracking attendance.

Please be aware the State Agency had a Civil Rights audit this past summer, and the training and slides have been updated. The webinar and presentation slides are also available on the Non-Discriminatory & Civil Rights Information webpage: https://www.maine.gov/doe/schools/nutrition/nondiscrimination Please be sure to use this training/presentation when conducting your In-House Training.

*As a reminder, this State Agency training/quiz does not replace your institution's annual "In-House" Civil Rights Training requirement.* Feel free to use the webinar and presentation slides when conducting your In-House Civil Rights Training, however, be sure to document any "In-House" trainings with a dated sign-in sheet and agenda and keep in your records as you will not have access to the State Agency's quiz results for documentation purposes. In-House Training with these updated slides should be completed no later than September 30, 2024.

Take care,
