[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No matter your personal thoughts about the creator of the petition, it's absurd that 4/5 middle schools have figured it out. The one that hasn't (WMS) has the highest hybrid rates and a crap ton of outside spaces. [/quote]
My understanding is that the issue with Williamsburg is that they’re not certain they’ll have enough aides day-to-day to cover outdoor lunches.  Because there’s greater risk of students leaving campus with outdoor lunch, they need more aides for outdoor lunch than indoor lunch.  Once they have comfort on the staffing levels, I think the plan is to do more outdoor lunch.[/quote]

That is definitely not the message that has been clearly communicated to parents. One parent has emailed the principal saying they’re willing to find parent volunteers to monitor lunch with no response. Another emailed with concerns and principal responded that they could check out their students during lunch if they were concerned about eating in the cafeteria. I personally asked a question during the town hall that was left unanswered about eating outside. We were told during the Townhall there any unanswered questions would be followed up on but they were not. Can you see why we’re frustrated?[/quote]
