New Snack Requirements

[test2]

I live in Michigan.

Our public school system in our town is trying to get the kids to eat healthy. Although I support their efforts I ran into a situation this week and wondered if they were within their rights or violating mine.

They have instituted a policy that AM snack can only be a fruit or veggie. Parents must provide the snack, it does not come from the school. I was under the assumption that this was a guidline and on Friday my son informed me that the snack I had been sending was not enough. We had leftover pizza from the night before and he asked if he could take a piece. I didn't feel that this was a bad choice. When he came home that afternoon he pulled the pizza out of his bag and told me that he was not allowed to eat it as it was not a piece of fruit or veggie as mandated by the policy.

Can they do this?
