When can elementary or middle schools sell soda, candy, and chips?
When can’t they? All food sold before or during the school day, or by students, must meet SFUSD nutrition standards. That means soda, candy, and chips may be sold only on limited occasions, during non-school hours, and only by parents. In elementary and middle schools, parents may sell food which does not meet district nutrition standards up to ten times per school year, as long as the sale takes place after 5:00pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends or school holidays. An annual Saturday carnival, an evening holiday concert, or a night-time science fair are all examples of the types of events where these foods could be sold. All elementary and middle school food sales must take place before school starts or after school; no fundraising sales of any kind of food may take place during the school day, not even food which meets district nutrition standards. This rule helps support the NSLP (see question #2.) To clarify, teachers, parents, and students may not sell popcorn, nachos, bake sal
