The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

I receive a lot of questions about why we don't have pop machines in the school. Here is the latest information regarding food in schools. The specific rules are different for elementary schools and high schools, and since we have both groups within one site, we are required to follow the elementary school rules. That limits the size of containers that can be sold and how much sugar and fat (milk) that can be in it. The guidance does allow the school to have birthday snacks and food rewards, but limits what can be sold during the school day.
