Closed lunch program is topic
at SE School Board meeting
Our View: Closed lunch program would
hurt some businesses in Arlington
Sibley East Junior High Principal Steve Harter, in his recent
administrative notes to the School Board, wrote that he would
like to implement a closed lunch program.
Harter cited healthy meals, academics and safety as reasons
for a closed lunch program. These are valid reasons and always
worthy of a debate. However, the School Board should be
mindful of the economic impact on local businesses as Super-
intendent Jim Amsden pointed out.
A closed lunch program would hurt Arlington businesses
who depend on students to visit their restaurants and conven-
ience stores over the noon hour five days a week for nine
months each school year. These are also the same people who
are paying additional property taxes on their businesses and
homes for the new and renovated schools.
Under the current rules, students in grades 7-9 cannot leave
the junior high campus in Gaylord for their approximate 30-
minute lunch period without permission from their parents and
the principal, according to school officials. Students in grades
10-12 can leave the senior high campus in Arlington from their
approximate 30-minute lunch period, school officials said.
Safety should always be taken seriously, but there have been Guest Column
