I highly doubt you'll be seeing dorritos or pepsi ads. Last time I checked my daughters elementary school it was filled with all sorts of commercialization - from "Got Milk" to Pizza Hut encouraging more reading. The only difference is now the schools have the ability to make money doing it.

It will be interesting to see if School Media's can come up with some kind of accommodation in the face of objections to its locker-wrap ads.
