Proposed Regulations Governing Nutritional Guidelines for Competitive Foods Sold in VA Public School
 

I am in support of the proposed regulations but I have some concerns on HB 2114. This bill allows up to 30 fundraisers per school to be exempt from the regulations.

Clarification is needed on the timeframe of the fundraisers. Can one fundrasier last a whole year? I request that a fundrasier be no longer than one week and count as 5 fundrasiers.

Encourage school divisions to use alternative fundrasiers that do not involve the sale of food. Make half of all fundrasiers during the school year be non food sales.

Thanks you for the opportunity to submit comments.
