WVa bans soft drinks in schools

The West Virginia Board of Education has voted 8-1 to ban the sale of caffeinated beverages in the public schools, part of a new nutrition policy.

The policy also sets limits on other items that are high in sugars, fat and sodium. The nutrition policy is similar to a bill recommended several days earlier by a legislative interim committee.

An implementation date has not yet been announced.
