Elementary School Raises Health Score


Gwinnett County health inspectors returned to Pharr Elementary Tuesday, nearly a week after the school failed its regular health inspection. This time the Snellville school earned a 91 out of 100.

The score marked a quick turnaround for the school, which received a 65 when inspectors visited Jan. 16. Ken Yant, director of school nutrition for Gwinnett schools, said a supervisor visited the Pharr campus several times to train the cafeteria manager and staff on how to fix each infraction.

School and health officials had said the failing mark was probably caused by confusion over the state's new health code, which went into effect in December.
