Soda sales limited in area schools

This week?s decision by the nation?s largest beverage distributors to limit soda sales in public schools comes as the Carroll County Public School System is changing its vending machine policy.

“Beginning in the 2006-07 school year, our vending machines will be divided into two categories, one for foods with minimal nutritional value, the other for those that meet the state?s nutritional requirements,” said Stephen Guthrie, assistant superintendent for administration for Carroll County Public Schools.
