Summer Food Service Program Eligibility Updates - Wednesday & Thursday
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) 2022 Eligibility Updates The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released new information about increased site eligibility for the SFSP 2022. As a result, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has scheduled the following webinars to inform sponsors of these recent changes for determining area eligibility. If you are interested in/or plan to operate SFSP this summer, please plan to attend either of these webinars to learn about the changes, as this could result in adding sites that were not previously eligible to participate. If you are unable to attend one of the webinars, a recording and information on how to access them will be sent at a later date.

MeL Maven Training Update
by Wood-Gramza, Heather (MDE) 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Thanks to all who reached out over the past week to alert me to an issue with the certificate of completion not appearing for download once the MeL Maven training was finished. After troubleshooting, the MeL team was able to discover a glitch within Niche. To the best of my knowledge, this was an isolated incident and occurred for a brief period of time. I am grateful to the library staff at Redford Township District Library and Farmington Community Library for their assistance. Because of their willingness to take time out to answer questions, we discovered the root issue. If you were one of the individuals who completed the MeL Maven training and didn't see the "download certificate" button appear on the main page afterward, please contact Barb Williams at WilliamsB39(a)michigan.gov<mailto:WilliamsB39@michigan.gov>. She will go into the administrative side of Niche and will manually trigger the button to appear. In addition, if there are any other issues you encounter, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again for your commitment to continued learning!
