The board chairperson, Liz Ambrose, explains that the Winnipeg School Division\’s policy is to reject advertising.
\”Maybe our policies are stringent at times, but I think they reflect what those of parents are, and we spend a lot of time talking to parents,\” she said.
\”If you want your kid to come home with advertised items several times a week, then let us know.\”
