The planned regulations say schools that have snack food sold on campus must provide students with a selection of nutritious items low in calories.
The munchies can't be more than 200 calories per package and must include key nutrients outlined in criteria set in the policy.
The standard vending-machine candy of the past would be effectively banned from being sold at schools.
The state Board of Education this month agreed to present the preliminary snack-food policy for public review and bring it back for a final vote in October.
The board is set to give final approval Sept. 8 to a separate school-beverage regulation that wouldn't allow high-calorie carbonated beverages such as Coke and Pepsi to be sold at schools.
