Codman Academy and Junk Food

A piece in today's Globe discusses the paucity of healthy food alternatives in low income communities, where fast food and pork rind-hawking corner stores rule. How does this relate to charter schools? The article is primarily centered on Codman Square, Dorchester, and mentions Codman Academy's focus on healthy alternatives.

Codman in the press again? Why is that? I can think of a couple of reasons.

1. Codman works hard to be a member of its community, actively building partnerships with other local agencies and businesses.
2. Codman has a number of interesting non-traditional programs that get kids out into the community and the larger world.
3. Meg Campbell is a master at drawing positive attention to her school using (1) and (2).

My sense is that press coverage of charter schools in the city is vastly different from school to school. Is this true? And if so, why? Are some schools PR machines? Or are some schools worthy of more attention?
