What Happens When the Kids Walk off School Grounds?

Who are those people selling stuff (appears to be pop sickles, shave ice, candy bars, soda) to children as San Juan Elementary lets out?

My kids are enrolled at San Juan Elementary behind the mission. Normally I don’t get to pick up my children from school (working), but on Friday Sept 26th I did, and I noticed at least 2 different people selling ”refreshments” to children as school let out. Maybe I am overreacting but I don’t like it.

First off, selling garbage food to kids.

Second, unregulated commerce is never good (food poisoning, allergies, accountability).

Third, I don’t trust these people that are taking advantage of children and their lunch money.

I guess I will be contacting the school directly. Please let me know if you have any clarifying information.
