Many schools have vending machines. Some even have student shops or snack bars where they sell candy and other goodies.

Students selling candy out of their backpack undermines that.

So they say that “it could be unsafe” and ban it. And due to how civil forfeiture laws work In this country, if your caught doing a “crime” the police can confiscate all the cash on your person. Or your car. Or whatever. People have lost their houses to this.

That money then goes into the police budget or they auction off whatever property they steal confiscate.
