[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not easy to hire people to work a few hours in the middle of the day.[/quote]
This. With covid it’s an even less appealing job. They used extended day staff last year but they are needed back in extended day now. [/quote]

I honestly think PTA could staff it with volunteer parents.  Many of us are still working remotely and don’t mind running over to monitor lunch [b]for an hour once a week[/b] if it means safer lunches, which increases the chance of school staying open.[/quote]

Why do you think it would be for just "an hour once a week?"

Maybe your kids go to a school where the majority of parents have desk jobs from home.   What about the schools where a majority of the parents need to work in person--as landscapers, house cleaners, in fast food restaurants, etc?[/quote]

I’m willing to volunteer at another school if there’s an unmet need.[/quote]

For several hours, five days a week?[/quote]
This, they won't do this unless they can staff all of lunch every day. Unfortunately volunteers aren't always reliable because most don't view it as a "real job" and frequently call out or cancel. [/quote]

How about if they see who shows up, and see if they can’t make it work, at least sometimes?  Even one class pulled out of that cafeteria means more safety for all.[/quote]
