Summary

Existing law prohibits the governing board of a school district from entering into a contract that grants exclusive or nonexclusive advertising or grants the right to the exclusive or nonexclusive sale of carbonated beverages, nonnutritious beverages, or nonnutritious food within the school district to a person, business, or corporation unless the governing board of the school district has adopted a policy after a public hearing to ensure that the school district has internal controls in place regarding the expenditure of the public funds. Existing law defines "nonnutritious beverages," for purposes of that provision, to exclude, among other beverages, milk, including, but not limited to, chocolate milk, soy milk, rice milk, and other similar dairy or nondairy milk. This bill would specify, for purposes of exclusion from the definition of "nonnutritious beverages," that milk also includes almond milk. Existing law permits the sale of only certain beverages to pupils at public schools. The beverages that may be sold include fruit-based and vegetable-based drinks, plain water, certain types of milk and nondairy milk and other similar nondairy milk, and, in high schools, electrolyte replacement beverages if those beverages meet certain nutritional requirements This bill would specify that almond milk is a nondairy milk that is authorized to be sold to pupils at public schools.
