[ISLMA-Share] High School Libraries: Lunch Students

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Thanks , Gretchen. When you say limited food, what rules of thumb or
official rules do you use? We implemented a finger food/no hot lunch plan
last year and it went alright. This year, though, it has become a problem.
Due to losing staffing, we are not able to monitor it as closely.
