Three southern Arizona groups have been awarded federal funds to help students make healthier choices.
The U.S. Department of Education announced the grants Tuesday.
About $740,000 goes to the Santa Cruz Regional School District in Nogales, while $631,000 goes to the Sunnyside Unified School District in Tucson.
Another $225,000 goes to the non-profit Pima Prevention Partnership in Tucson.
The grants are among 56 totaling $27 million that went to school districts and community organizations to implement physical fitness and nutrition programs.

This is a waste of taxpayers’ money which could be more useful either in our pockets (demand economy) or on infrastructure. Teaching “healtheir choices” should be the task of the parents. Oh, I remember now, the family has become declase and single mothers have sole responsibility for the “family”.
