The article summarizes international approaches to creating effective management tools that enable operational management of school nutrition programs of various scales — monitoring and evaluation systems. M&E system, as a project management tool, is the most relevant and appropriate way to reduce the level of uncertainty and ensure the effectiveness of management decisions, using the possibilities of digitalization. The paper suggests ways to create basic tools of the system for monitoring and evaluating national school nutrition programs and the national plan for the M&E system of the school nutrition program in Russia.

Service Managers

The purpose of this study is to assess elementary school nutrition programs in a rural county in southern Illinois. The researcher interviewed the food service managers of eight schools and completed the School Health Index (SHI) based on their responses. Eighty-seven percent of the schools did not have venues such as vending machines outside the cafeteria. Three food service managers stated that from 75% to 80% of the students in the district ate lunch in the cafeteria. The SHI corresponds to the eight components of a coordinated school health program; nutrition services are just one of the eight components. The SHI is a tool that can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses in the nutrition program. It covers items from healthy, low-fat choices to food preparation and cafeteria practices. School nurses can work with teachers and food service personnel to create nutrition programs and a curriculum related to healthy nutrition practices.
