Sugary sodas will be removed from vending machines at seven Fairfax County high schools this school year as the administration tests a possible ban on sodas throughout the school system.
The pilot program will remove high-calorie sodas from machines at Chantilly, Falls Church, Langley, Marshall and West Potomac high schools along with Lake Braddock Secondary and the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. In all, about 30 percent of the county’s high school students will not be able to purchase sugary sodas at school.
Soda machines in teachers’ lounges won’t be affected.
