[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if we are talking about 100 kids in the cafeteria at a time plus staff, we are talking about the cafeteria being at about 20% capacity at any given time, which is very low capacity utilization for safety purposes.  I can understand why some aren’t comfortable going back and I won’t argue with your choice to stay virtual, but it’s not a reason not to reopen for those who are comfortable with those mitigation measures.[/quote]

You keep saying “it’s not a reason not to reopen” but no one is arguing it is. They are arguing that there should be an outdoor option so families not comfortable with the all-grade level indoor group lunches can have the same opportunity to send their kids to hybrid as those who don’t care.

I'm comfortable with the current situation. There needs to be some level of risk taken. [/quote]

It’s becoming really suspect that certain posters push back anytime outdoor lunch is mentioned. Even when PP state they’re not asking for schools to be closed, just for lunch to be outside.[/quote]

How do you envision that working on a rainy day? If lunch can only be eaten outside, many, most, or all kids are going to skip it when it’s wet. Schools can’t be in the position of forcing kids to choose between eating lunch and staying dry. If outdoor lunch is optional, all of those kids are going to be in the cafeteria when it’s wet and/or cold outside, running afoul of the wishes of the parents who don’t want large numbers of kids eating indoors together. It’s great to have an outdoor option; I want that too, but indoors will be the default and admin can’t honestly present it any other way.[/quote]

Its not a forced outdoor lunch, its an option. Good grief![/quote]
