3. History
In years past, school nutrition directors were often frustrated because they were unable to quickly locate program information when a question arose. As a result, area consultants and program associates on the state staff received frequent requests for help.
In 2006, the program associates met to brainstorm ideas and created a resource to address this need.
The Flip-n-Find came by its name when it was first developed as a hard copy tool – the user would flip the pages and find the information. Since then it has evolved into an electronic resource that can be easily accessed on the School Nutrition Program web site and copied to a computer desktop.
