Proposed new health regulations for Partridge County public schools would require that students not be allowed to purchase soft drinks on school grounds. In consequence, the schools would have to remove approximately 25 of the 34 soft drink machines from the 6 schools in the district. The schools’ budgets depend in part on the revenue generated by the placement of these machines, most of which are located in areas students can access. Therefore, the proposed health regulations, if enacted, will reduce the revenue available for the schools’ budgets.

If the planned health regulations are enacted, the reduction in soft drink machines will not result mainly from a reduction in the number of students who spend relatively little on soft drinks.
