Next Steps Consider how you can help promote the SFSP! or 3/26/2018 Next Steps Consider how you can help promote the SFSP! or Could your library be a new site? Make plans for providing meals! Complete sponsor and site applications www.kn-eat.org, SFSP, Administration, Program Initiation Applications due May 1 All sites should be determined by May 1 and submitted for approval with the Sponsor Application on KN-CLAIM. (We want sites declared by May 1 – if there is some missing information on May 1, that is acceptable; but we want to know what sites you are working on.) Contact your consultant promptly when considering new sites to be sure they will be eligible under SFSP rules. A “Yes” response to item (58) on the site application indicates the site has been visited by the sponsor and is determined to meet the need for the SFSP. New sites require an Initial Site Application located at www.kn-eat.org. Download or print, complete and send to KSDE. Once the Initial Site Application has been received, the consultant will create the site in KN-CLAIM and the sponsor will then confirm and add information in KN-CLAIM and submit it for approval. [If a site was previously used in SFSP, but was not an active site last year, the consultant can add the site at the request of the sponsor by making the site active from the Maintenance screen.] A site must be in approved status prior to opening. All sites should be declared by May 1 so there is adequate time to review updates of information prior to operation. SFSP State Library Webinar * Child Nutrition & Wellness, KSDE
