TCAPS Experimenting With Health-Minded Vending Machines
Nov. 21, 2015
Traverse City Area Public Schools is testing out a new food option for students – vending machines that offer healthy food. The district has installed two such machines at Central High School to give access to healthy snacks and meals outside of the normal cafeteria operating hours. Items include salads, yogurt, sandwiches, fruit and granola bars, which meet the same federal nutrition regulations as all other food sold in the cafeteria. If the pilot program is a hit with kids, it could be expanded to other schools or buildings.
