“The policy does not say anything about students sharing snacks when no money is exchanged.”
I say buy a couple of cases of Skittles and hand them out. Make them deal with this terrible loop-hole!

Sullivan-DeCarlo said Sheridan Middle School principal Eleanor Turner repeatedly warned students that she did not want candy to be sold or money to change hands during school. Turner referred all questions to Sullivan-DeCarlo. Aside from the nutrition issue, Sullivan-DeCarlo said, students create security problems when they carry money.
A copy of the district's policy states that "no candy or junk food fundraisers will be allowed on school grounds" and that only healthy snacks will be sold in vending machines.
So let me get this straight. They have vending machines, but the kids aren't allowed to carry money?

The kid clearly violated the “wellness” policy and is lucky he got off so easy.

thank you NEA.....for giving us such tremendous educators who are more worried about candy than teaching children to read, utterly absurd.

When I was growing up, in response to some silliness like this, the ENTIRE student body would show up the next few days with candy in our out of their pockets.

What kind of suspension for buying drugs at school? I wonder.

Well, you know, if they let them get by with dealing Skittles, then they'll be trying to deal M&M's, and then Snicker's bars, and then gawd knows what else...

Okay all of you defenders of the Nanny-Nazi-Police-State (AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST OFFENDERS WAS ELLIOT #9 SPITZER) having the power over regulating every one of our personal (LEGAL) activities and choices, we tried to warn you, but you dismissed us as fear-mongering dotes.
We tried to tell you this was all about POWER as opposed to legitimate "health issues," and all about "the chilluns," but you would not listen.
Well, the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost. How do you like it now????

This is gross stupidity. These left-wing anti-humans should be fired from living the good life off of our tax dollars.
Schools need competition. Not left-wing idiots running them.
