Purpose/Objectives: "Cooking for Kids," a culinary training program, conducted a needs assessment with key personnel in Oklahoma school nutrition programs to better understand the current training and resource needs of this population. Additionally, the needs assessment assessed barriers to accessing current training interventions offered by the program. Methods: The online needs assessment survey was completed by the most senior individual directly involved in the school district's child nutrition program (e.g., Child Nutrition Director, Kitchen Manager, Head Cook). Descriptive frequency statistics were used to analyze multiple-choice and multiple-response questions. Missing items were excluded via pairwise deletion. Open-response questions were coded by theme and included in the analysis. Results: The survey received 208 valid responses, with the majority of respondents (64%) located in nonmetropolitan counties. Sixty-three percent self-identified as their district's Child Nutrition Director, and approximately one-third marked they were currently under contract with a food service management company. The most selected training topic was "understanding meal pattern requirements" (60.5%); needed resources included "Cooking for Kids" recipes (68.2%); and the leading personnel management training topic was "motivating staff" (63.1%). Barriers to attending training included time, compensation, and location. The top 3 responses when asked what challenges are faced in creating a healthier food environment were "limited staffing" (63.9%), "concern for student satisfaction" (58.1%), and "time management" (50.3%). Applications to Child Nutrition Professionals: It is prudent that the capacity of child nutrition programs be considered when changes are made to the governing regulations. These results can help to inform school administrators, professional organizations, governing agencies, and policymakers of the support these programs need to continue serving healthy school meals. Supporting entities must communicate with these programs to ensure training and resources remain relevant in the ever-changing environment of school nutrition.
