Abstract: The Healthy Hunger Free
Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010 (Section 306)
requires Professional Standards for state

In addition, FNS provides a mobile
friendly version of the PSTTT
application to ensure easy usage and
accessibility across mobile devices. The
application is compatible with all
mobile operating systems (iOS,
