The questions were prepared by the League of Women Voters of Chester County and asked of all candidates for this office.     See below for questions on Nutrition Click on a name for candidate information.   See also more information about this contest. 1. How would you promote good nutrition in your schools? Answer from Andrew W "Andy" Daga: Great Valley has an exemplary food service system. However, recent efforts by the federal government, which are intended to reduce the incidence of obesity, have gone too far and have unintended consequences for many districts -- including ours. Children are hungry and parents are angry about rising food costs; obesity is not being treated because children are finding alternative sources of food outside the program. We have lost local control due to these federal mandates which are enforced by the state. The best way to improve this situation is to work with other districts to voice our opposition to federal micromanagement. Responses to questions asked of each candidate are reproduced as submitted to the League.  Candidates' statements are presented as submitted. Direct references to opponents are not permitted.
