I don't understand why we need to reconsider the existing policy, which is to let Principals decide.

Each community can work with their Principal to open, partially open (for certain grades) or close lunch. It's the best solution, since some schools are islands in the deserts and some are in safe urban areas with restaurants.

I am entirely against a top-down approach and a blanket closure or opening for all schools.

Agree but it is happening on Thursday not sure what we can do at this point.  Seems like a done deal. Worried about the aftermath of all the things that need to be re-organized this summer when staff goes on vacation etc. Even less folks will be making major decisions. I am writing my reps right now but none of them are up for re-election and not sure if they care.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I'm a BCC parent, and BCC is mobilizing: they've had open lunch forever because the cafeteria was never expanded, and it's physically impossible to keep all students in school at lunchtime. Many parents have written to the Superintendent and the Board members to explain why BCC needs to keep open lunch, and some are planning to be present on the day. I hope the Board understands that high schools in MCPS are very different from each other and need their own individual approach, according their own communities' wishes.

I have nothing against the Superintendent, but this was a misstep on his part. [/quote]
