Wasn't it his own house where the chef would prepare the food and students could form a line to get the food?

Julie Yang really tried to ask important questions and made excellent points. Really surprised the smob was in cahoots with Brenda considering this would presumably be an unpopular change for students and she is supposed to represent them.


Wait, she's still on the Board? What happened for them to rush this discussion? Why don't they spend their efforts on the damn high school start time instead?!

Not everything is strictly about the w schools. It’s a safety and liability issue. How much are your kids spending? Eating out daily is $$


A debate of have and have nots? To make it "fair" for students who can't eat out?

Inflation led parents to complain to end open lunch? Do they know if all students who go out for lunch are buying and eating outside food?

Or did a lawyerly parent, who had older kids graduate from Blair, complain to have youngest kid who is zoned for a HS with open lunch?

He said in an interview all his kids are out of the home.


Isn't he a '96 graduate of B-CC? Let's do the math


He’s 48 so even if he started at 18 he still has school aged kids. Maybe they are in private or in va?

Some people start early! Google AI tells me all of his kids are out of school but he has nieces and nephews in MCPS. His kids attended public school (I’m guessing in VA, where he was before coming to MCPS).


If true, no wonder why trying to change things up. Whoa

How tiny are HS cafeterias that they can't fit 400ish kids at a time?


Let's do the math which is not mcps' forte:
2400 kids +/-
And you want 400 kids per lunch period?
That's lunch spread over 6 periods.
So, students should get a lunch period at 2nd period which starts before 9am?

None, because plenty of kids leave now at schools that don’t have lunch. So, the rule followers will get their one lunch taken away and those who are more willing to break the rules will continue to have open much.

Why the sudden urgency to change a 50 year old policy of open lunch? What happened to bring this discussion to the forefront? Show families the data! Transparency!
