Wake County school board committee reviewing School Health Advisory Council recommendations

The Wake County school board's student achievement committee is scheduled to discuss today the latest recommendations from the School Health Advisory Council, including the controversial one on banning the sale of unhealthy foods.

Since the SHAC report came out last week, school board members have been getting a steady stream of comments from booster groups warning that restricting what they can sell at concession stands will harm their ability to raise funds to support athletic programs.

The response was so much that school board vice chairwoman Christine Kushner, also chair of the student achievement committee, quipped last week that they should invite the booster groups to the superintendent search feedback meetings.
