Government is about to change the way vendors operate outside all schools.
That was revealed after the controversy surrounding the Grantley Adams Memorial School reached a resolution on Friday following an intervention by Minister of Education Santia Bradshaw.
Jean “Miss B” Mayers, the long-time vendor, will return to selling on the school premises from Monday. The other vendors would have to apply to the Board of Management for permission.
Bradshaw and the board at the school held a two-and-a-half hour meeting at the Blackman’s, St Joseph institution, which had been embroiled in a two-week protest after vendors were barred from selling food and snacks to children during lunch break. (MB)
