SCHOOL BOARD TO CONSIDER SODA BAN TONIGHT

From the School Board Agenda Notes (The meeting is tonight at 630PM in the high school):
2. Consider approval of Wellness Policy revision—first reading (R-09-52/#09-28)Attached is information regarding the current Wellness policy that prohibits the sale of soda. This prohibition includes selling to the public in concessions stands at RHS football and basketball games. The Board is being asked to reconsider the soda ban that extends beyond the school day.

Personally, I would like to see the board lift the ban. I can see the validity of the ban of pop in the schools, but, as an adult, I do not see where this ban has to be extended to the athletic events. I know that I would have loved to drink a Diet Pepsi at the football games....
