Lynbrook should revisit food delivery policy
fter a long morning of classes, lunch is a much-needed break for students. Under Lynbrook’s current food delivery policy, students are not allowed to have meals delivered to the school campus or nearby houses from food delivery services. However, an alternative to a completely restrictive ban that allows for both safe and efficient food delivery is worth considering. In order to better inform food delivery policy, Lynbrook should be open to implementing student input. According to the student handbook for the 2024-25 school year, “meals cannot be delivered to students through the office,” including meals from delivery services like DoorDash or Uber Eats. At the beginning of this school year, Assistant Principal Eric Wong sent out an email reminding students of the policy, outlining confiscation as a consequence for violation. Reminders have also come in the morning announcements and “The Week Ahead” emails. The ban is effective from the beginning of the school day until the office closes at 4:30 p.m. However, this prevents students who have after-school sports and extracurricular activities from receiving food deliveries during that time, which is often before their practices or games. According to the school policy, students who order food may have it delivered to Rainbow Park. This policy aims to prevent traffic accidents and safety issues with food delivery workers entering the campus unauthorized. Story continued on page 5.
