Food Policy Not Perfect

A policy that ensures healthy food is served at school cafeterias may not be working to the best of it's ability.

District Six Superintendant Zoe Watson says Policy 711 has brought on some positive changes. 

She says more students are drinking water and eating healthy snacks.

Watson says no one wants to go back to serving chips and chocolate bars, but cafeteria revenues have declined since the policy came into place.

She says high school students near fast food restaurants often leave the school at lunch to eat junk food anyway.
