FRYEBURG, Maine – Officials in Maine’s School Administrative District No. 72 are taking Michelle O’s food restrictions and kicking them up a notch.

Instead of simply restricting what kinds of food students can purchase from the cafeteria and school vending machines, MSAD 72 board members are considering a policy that spells out when and what parents can bring in for class celebrations, The Conway Daily Sun reports.

A policy introduced at the school board’s meeting Wednesday would place strict limitations – based on the federal government’s interpretation of “healthy foods” – on all parent-provided snacks next school year.

Cupcakes, lollipops, and other treats deemed to have “low nutritional value” will be limited to once per month, per classroom, though the new rules won’t impact what parents can pack in their child’s lunch, according to the site.

“There are people who really want to know what their children are eating, and they don’t want their children to go to school and be served lollipops and candy,” board member Kathiann Shorely said.

“There are some people (who will say), ‘Where have all the cupcakes gone? You ruined life.’ For those people, we have this one exception time.”

The board’s vice chair Norma Snow told those at the board meeting the district is “trying to find a happy medium between nothing and everything.”

“We don’t want everything, and we know nothing is not going to fly,” she said, according to the Daily Sun.

The plan is to task teachers with maintaining a parent sign-up sheet for class parties to ensure not more than one “unhealthy” type of snack is served to students each month. The rest of the time, board members want teachers and students to celebrate their special days with pencils and notebooks.

The new policy also contains a provision that forbids school fundraisers using food that do not comply with Michelle Obama’s federal food restrictions on calories, fat, sugar, sodium and other nutritional elements.

The main portion of the proposed policy reads:

“Teachers and parents will consider non­food ways to celebrate. Celebrations that involve food during the school day will be limited to no more than one party per class per month. Teachers will maintain a monthly sign­up roster for parents/guardians to indicate if they plan to participate in the party/celebration, and also indicate what item they will bring. Each party will include no more than one food or beverage that does not meet nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold individually. Once a parent/guardian has signed off that they choose to bring one of the items mentioned above, the remaining edible items must fall under the federal standards of acceptable food and beverages.”

It also states “no school fundraising will involve food of minimal nutritional value. A suggested list will be available,” according to the news site.

At least one school board member pointed out that she regularly witnesses teachers and other school staff swigging pop during the school day, though the policy encourages educators to serve as “role models” for healthy eating.

The board has yet to formally approve the new policy, but could make it official at its next board meeting in August, the Daily Sun reports.

Several other schools across the nation have also moved to ban birthday cupcakes and “unhealthy” classroom snacks since new federal school food restrictions championed by first lady Michelle Obama went into effect in 2012.
