If you have ever had to buy lunch in the cafeteria, you have undoubtedly run into the issue of there not being any food left. Whether this is because there is not enough food being put out or people are taking too much, this issue leaves students with few options to choose from.

In previous years, students always had Doordash and Uber Eats as lunch options. As of last year, for safety and theft concerns, Principal Stephens decided to get rid of these delivery services, a decision that was looked down on by students.

“A variable is, are the kids who have a free waiting until second lunch to go to lunch?” Principal Stephens commented. “The kids who have frees really should not be going to first lunch because that is contributing to that issue…. That is not the fault of the cafeteria folks at all, because they can’t foresee [how many students will be in attendance].” 

With these factors in mind, the question becomes: how will the school account for these issues? The introduction of the vending machines was a step in the right direction. After malfunctions occurred with the machines last year, many students were not fans of them. Coming into the new school year though, measures have been taken to fix the machines, making them fully functional. 

In addition to the vending machines, the Nutrislice app has been heavily advertised as a good way to ensure you can get food by ordering something in advance.
