[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are concerned about student behavior off campus you might want to lobby for MCPS to provide adequate facilities. WJHS currently has 2942 students, with an official capacity of 2290. There is no way that the cafeteria can house all the students at lunch. So students are off campus, and some are doing things they shouldn't.

At some point, Woodward High School will open, presumably drawing some students from WJHS. However, the school board currently has no plans to build an auditorium for that high school. Will they be having assemblies and performances outside? On zoom? Who knows. [/quote]

Other schools have closeD campuses and one lunch.  They eat in the halls, classrooms, etc.  [/quote]

Sure they do.  Where does their food come from?

Let's try some math, knowing that you cannot get 2900+ students through a cafeteria line and I guess kids would bring a bag lunch if they could not leave the WJ campus.

If 25% of those student bought lunch and spent an unrealistic 1 MINUTE getting their food and swiping a payment, it would take 12.25 hours to get through the lunch line.

If there were 3 lunch periods, instead of the current 1 lunch period, 2942/3 = 981 * 0.25 = 245 /60 = 4.08 hours to get through the lunch line, if it takes just 1 minute.

Maybe, 90% of the students will bring a bag lunch, leaving just 294 students to stand in the cafe line.   At one minute per student, they would get through in 4.9 hours.

For students to get their lunch in the cafeteria and eat it during 1 lunch period, you are looking at needing 97% of students to bring food from home, while 3% go through the line.  What about the students in the FARM program, who might not have adequate food at home and count on school lunch?

Next.
