[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the HS cafeterias are large enough to hold all the students, so that's a moot point. For those schools with closed lunch, they bring lunch and eat in hallways, classrooms (usually for a club or to meet with a teacher), etc.  The kids need to learn to pick up after themselves, and not leave all their after lunch trash lying around - that's how you deter the rodent problem, not by only eating in the cafeteria.

That being said, I am for open lunch (I work in a closed lunch school and my kids attend an open lunch school).[/quote]

While rodents can become an issue when students can eat anywhere on campus like PPP said, it hasn't stopped neighboring school districts like APS (Arlington), where high schools students can eat most anywhere on campus including outdoors. Students learn to clean up. APS also has a decades long open campus lunch policy, amended over the years, where upperclassmen can walk or drive off campus.

There's really no need for MCPS to get rid of open campus. Is it about equity? I don't understand.  [/quote]
